Millen Castle was the seat of the Lords of Millen until Arnold von Millen sold the Millen dominion to Dietrich II von Heinsberg in 1282. Since Millen was a fief of the diocese of Liège, the sale also required Dietrich's enfeoffment with the rulership of the diocese. After further changes of rulership, the Millen rulership came permanently to the Duchy of Jülich from 1499; Millen Castle became the seat of the Jülich Millen office, formed from the three splendours of Gangelt, Vucht and Millen.
