The Herdringen manor was first documented in 1376. Until 1543, it belonged to the von Ketteler family, and thereafter to the von Westrem family. In 1618, the Prince-Bishop of Paderborn, Dietrich von Fürstenberg, purchased it and bequeathed it to his nephew. Since then, the estate has belonged to the Barons von Fürstenberg.
The three-winged outer bailey was built between 1683 and 1723.
The actual castle was built between 1844 and 1853 according to plans by Ernst Friedrich Zwirner. Zwirner, as an architect, also completed Cologne Cathedral. The castle chapel is therefore a reminder of this important building.
