The baroque Tambach Palace was built at the end of the 17th century for the Counts of Ortenburg.
During WWII, in April 1943, some of the archive of Air Ministry & the Navy Archive of Berlin was transferred to Schloss Tambach. The document collection was confiscated by the 5th Regiment of the 11th US Armored Division on April 11, 1945 and it was sent to the U.S.A. After WWII, in the west wing a ceramics factory was set up, which produced plain pottery.

In 1969 the lord of the manor, Alram Graf zu Ortenburg (1925-2007), created an English landscape garden park. The park opened May 16, 1970. Until 2013 the palace featured a Hunting and Fishing Museum, but it has since closed. Now it is still partly inhabited by the family, Heinrich Graf zu Ortenburg and his wife, and is not open to the public. You can however, still view the outside of the palace which has stunning architecture.
In the summer, major concerts occur in the courtyard and every second Sunday in September, some rooms of the palace are open to visit. The palace garden is incredibly popular for the Wild Park and can be visited all year every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fountain in the courtyard behind the castle is stunning. If you get the opportunity to see the falconry show this is the side you will be viewing it from.
