The historic nucleus was the moth, now overgrown by trees, in the middle of the mill pond. This moth Tüschenbroich (ground monument on an island probably separated from the mainland by a ditch in the middle of the castle pond) erected as a moated castle and first mentioned in a document in 1172 as Thuschinbroc. The buildings burned down in the Thirty Years' War.

The ensemble of castle, restaurant, pond, medieval motte and oil mill together with the opposite fishing park at the former swimming pool is quite unique in the local area. In addition, there is the legendary Ulrichskapelle on the forest path just behind the oil mill. In the oil mill is a recommended studio of an internationally renowned glass artist. If the sign "open" is outside, be sure to check it out!

The historical nucleus was the Motte, which is now overgrown by trees and located in the middle of the Mühlweiher. This motte Tüschenbroich (ground monument on an island in the middle of the castle pond, probably separated from the mainland by a ditch) was built as a moated castle and was first mentioned in documents in 1172 as Thuschinbroc. The buildings burned down during the Thirty Years' War.

Tüschenbroich belonged to Wassenberg and later to the Duchy of Jülich.

In 1624, Franz von Spiering bought Tüschenbroich, which had been destroyed in the war, for 24,200 Reichstaler. He had the complex rebuilt as a baroque palace complex in brick construction. The "Codex Welser", an illustrated inventory of all knightly fiefdoms in the Duchy of Jülich, from 1720 shows both the main castle island and the outer bailey complex, which is still partially preserved today and later mutated into the main castle after being destroyed.
