In 1299 Gevelinghausen Castle was first mentioned in a document. In 1796 Baron von Wendt-Papenhausen acquired the castle. The poetess Annette von Droste-Hülshoff stayed in the castle as a guest in 1824 and 1831.
In 1985 the property was sold by the von Wendt family for financial reasons.

There is the following explanation for the distinctive window shutters:
"In this context, the house colors should also be pointed out, which still adorn the shutters on the buildings of the former manor complex today. They go back to the von Wendt-Papenhausen family, whose coat of arms had a golden background, which is often replaced by yellow in heraldry. The three balaclavas or balaclavas in the coat of arms are blue.”
