Her architect for the whole project, a rare example of a largely Dutch baroque complex in Germany, was the Dutch architect Cornelis Ryckwaert.
From 1683 she used it as her personal residence, but after the death of her husband Johann Georg II in 1693, she had it expanded and used it as her widow's seat, where she lived until her death.
She inherited from her father, Frederik Hendrik of Orange-Nassau, part of his extensive art collection, in particular master paintings. Today, part of this collection can still be seen in Mosigkau, (see also: https://www.tripendy.com/location/mosigkau-castle-dessau-wörlitz-realm)
During the late 18th century parts of the baroque garden were remodelled in English landscape style, such as the English/Chinese garden, including a teahouse, a pagoda, and numerous bridges. The orangery was designed by the architect Pozzi in 1810-1812, and is one of the longest in Europe. To this day, almost 300 citrus plants overwinter there.
