Constructed between 1712 and 1717, it was designed by the renowned architect Andreas Schlüter for Paul Anton von Kameke. The estate features a landscape garden established in 1770. In 1800, it was acquired by the von Eckardstein family, who retained ownership until 1945. The castle underwent significant restoration and expansion in 1859 by Friedrich August Stüler, altering its original appearance. During World War II, from August 1943 to early 1945, Schloss Prötzel served as the residence of Cesare Orsenigo, the Apostolic Nuncio. After the war, the estate was pillaged and fell into disrepair. In the 1990s, it was used by the Kunstverein Prötzel for exhibitions. In 2007, the castle was purchased by Armenian architect and entrepreneur Aram Ekavyan, who initiated restoration efforts to convert it into a luxury hotel. The restoration aimed to open the hotel by the end of 2012. Schloss Prötzel is recognized as an architectural heritage monument in Brandenburg. Its historical significance and Baroque architecture make it a notable cultural asset, though specific details about its current accessibility and operations are not provided.
