Around 1650, the main structure of the moated castle was converted into a castle by Bertram Scheiffart von Merode.
In 1875 the castle was rebuilt in the Gothic style. From 1953 to 1973 it was used by Caritas as a children's home.
In 1984 the palace complex and several ancillary buildings on the extensive grounds of the palace were converted into condominiums. The castle, outbuildings and the castle park are located behind high walls (no possibility to visit!).
