      The former moated castle, in the Bonn district of Beuel on the right bank of the Rhine, in the former district of Vilich-Rheindorf (today Schwarzrheindorf / Vilich-Rheindorf), approx. 600 m south of the well-known double church, is named after the knightly family of Wolff von Rheindorf. The family founded their ancestral home here in the 13th century. In 1334 the knight Godart von Rheindorf is mentioned for the first time as the owner.
      In the 14th century the castle came into the possession of Johannes von Buschfeld through marriage and fell to Arnold von Gymnich through the marriage of his daughter Margarethe in 1477. An iron weather vane with a dragon, the heraldic animal of the von Gymnichs, and the year 1597 adorns the tower of Wolfsburg, which has also been called Gymnich House since that time.
      With the extinction of the noble family and the marriage of the widow of the last Gymnich to the Baron von Mirbach, the castle passed into the possession of the Mirbach family, who lived in it until the 18th century and had leased it since 1807.
