As early as the 12th century, a noble family called "von Langendorf" is guaranteed, which is why a permanent house can be assumed for this time, from which today's complex developed. A castle courtyard belonging to Count von Jülich was first mentioned in a document in Langendorf in 1240. A family of ministers resided there until the 14th century, whose members were Jülich feudal people: the Lords of Langendorf.
