After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, Schloss Derneburg and its estates became part of the Kingdom of Hanover, under the rule of George III of England. He gifted them to Ernst Friedrich Herbert Graf zu Münster in appreciation of his services to the crown at the Congress of Vienna. As ministers to both George III and George IV members of the Munster family became increasingly anglicized over the following 150 years but retained ownership of Schloss Derneburg from 1816 until 1974 when it was sold to the painter Georg Baselitz by Count Peter Munster, Countess Veronica's husband from 1955 -1975.
