Today's Haus Kappeln was originally a two-island complex, of which the moats around the outer bailey west of the main castle have since been filled in. The current manor house dates from 1777, but has an older core and was remodeled in the Renaissance style in 1862.

Haus Cappeln was built in the 12th century under Count Hermann von Ravensberg. At the end of the 13th century, the castle passed from the Counts of Ravensberg into the possession of the knight Hermann von Kappeln and in the following years belonged to several owners.

In 1382, the castle was conquered and destroyed by troops of the Bishop of Osnabrück as a result of the Tecklenburg feud. It was not rebuilt until around 1400 at the earliest as a manor on two islands that were secured by three moats. The foundations of the old castle probably served as the basis.

From 1777, the house was owned by the von Loen brothers. A coat of arms above a cartouche with the date in Roman numerals still indicates the noblemen. The baroque three-winged residential building with the double flight of stairs and the magnificent portal dates from this period. In 1812, the son and successor of Leon's older brother lost the manor in a gambling game to the wealthy Baron von Lange. His heir married Baron Heinrich von Kalckstein, who made renovations in the Renaissance style in 1862.

After the owners had changed several times in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Osnabrück industrialist Walter Titgemeyer acquired the now neglected manor house in 1965 and had it extensively restored and expanded. The property is still privately owned today, so the grounds are not open to the public. There are information boards with pictures along the way.
