Wachendorf Castle is located in a large park with old trees. First mentioned in 1190. Wachendorf was originally the bailiwick of a noble lord over ecclesiastical property. From this a medieval moated castle developed to protect this manorial rule. Today the castle consists of an unusually large, three-storey mansion with a six-storey residential tower and buildings of the farmyard scattered across the site. Then there are the chapel, surrounding walls and the remains of the former bastions, ramparts and moats. The ocher-colored plaster and the red sandstone structures create the impression of a mighty baroque palace. The castle has been completely changed since 1780. At that time, Freiherr von Solemacher rebuilt the castle for his representative duties. In the overgrown castle park there is also the tomb of the last residents of the castle, those of Malinckrodt.
