Since the XIX century, Georgienburg began to be considered a private property he owned, surprisingly, a noble English family. The XX century prepared a difficult fate for the castle - it passed into state ownership, was badly damaged during the bombing of the Great Patriotic War, and the buildings adjacent to the castle housed apartments.
