In 1607 master builder Anton Reinhardt started with the first masonry work. His successor in office from 1609 to 1615 was the architect Andrea Spezza (1580–c. 1628) from Arogno in Ticino, Switzerland.

On this occasion, most of the moat was also filled in. In 1744, the Danish government added a simple annexe for the state administration ("chancellery wing") to the core building of Count Anthony GĂĽnther.
