Baroque architect Ambrosius von Oelde built the cathedral deanery between 1676 and 1678, which is now the oldest Baroque secular building in Paderborn. The eastern staircase extension dates from 1740.
The façade of the building, which burned down in 1945, was restored between 1974 and 1976. A transparent, self-supporting floor structure for the new city library was placed in the baroque shell - as a building within a building - a much-acclaimed solution for the preservation of historical monuments.
