When Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Hanover on October 2, 1866, King Georg V of Hanover became dispossessed of not only his kingdom but his properties as well and by these events he and his family were homeless refugees dependent on the hospitality of relatives and fellow royal families. In the spring of 1868, the Hanoverian Royal Family arrived in the Spa town of Gmunden located in the Salzkammergut. Fresh from the Imperial Court in Vienna, the family took up residence in the Villa Redtenbacher or Königinvilla.
On June 15, 1882, construction began at Schloss Cumberland. The large castle was to be designed in neo-Gothic Tudor style. Fellow Hanoverian Ferdinand Schorbach was engaged as the architect. Completion of the property occurred slightly four years later and on September 15, 1886 the young family moved into the newly built castle. The chapel and the family mausoleum were built and completed some years later. From September 15, 1886 until November 1923 Schloss Cumberland was the seat of the exiled Hanoverian Royal Family.

Now the castle is owned by the Austrian government and houses a spa and rehabilitation facility.
