The castle has been a knightly seat of the lords of Schwansbell since 1187. The castle in its current form was built between 1872 and 1875 according to plans by the Dortmund architect Fritz Weber for Wilhelm von Westerholt in the style of English Neo-Gothic with two octagonal towers.

Former castle which saved the city from deterioration and was used as a children's home for several years.
It was later sold for the mandatory DM 1 and has been in private hands ever since.

Am always surprised how many small castles and palaces can be found here in the Ruhr area. So also this moated castle. Is idyllic in a small park / grove. In the farm building next door is the municipal museum.
