The architect Peter Pictorius created the manor house from 1728-1732 in the Dutch-North German Baroque style with an imposing pleasure garden as the seat for the Emsland Drosten. In 1981, the city of Papenburg acquired the unique architectural monument and had it carefully restored. The pleasure garden with its formally trimmed taxus hedges was reconstructed according to historical plans, and during the restoration work inside, rococo wall paintings reappeared. Today, changing top-class art exhibitions and concerts during the summer months invite visitors to marvel.
Together with Papenburg's Zinnober art school, events are offered to accompany the exhibitions for school classes of all ages and types. During the vacations, there are also guided tours for children with subsequent museum pedagogical guidance.
