The castle dates from the 16th century and was owned by the Counts of Schulenburg until 1956. Then it was sold to the owner of the Machwitz coffee roastery. He renovated the castle extensively and now runs a restaurant-cafe in a farm building.

The moated castle Hehlen in Hehlen in the district of Holzminden is a moated castle built for representation purposes, which is one of the earliest castles in the style of the Weser Renaissance. The castle was built from 1579 to 1584 by Colonel Fritz von der Schulenburg and his wife Ilse von Saldern. It was owned by the von der Schulenburg family until 1956. In 1958 it was bought by the owner of the Hanover company Machwitz Kaffee, whose family still owns it today
