For the first time a castle or castle in Freyenstein for the year 1332 is certified. Whether this "Raubritternest" is the origins of today's castle or the castle, remains open, as remnants of this plant could not be identified exactly yet. It is certain, however, that in 1556 Conrad von Rohr, then-master of Freyenstein, started construction of a three-wing castle complex - today called the castle - in the eastern part of the park. The executive architect was Dominicus Parr, son of a prestigious Italian builder family. Parr planned the building in the style of the Renaissance. The terracotta was made in the workshop of the Lübeck artist Statius von Düren.

The Old Castle (also called Castle) was built around 1556 on the remains of a moated castle. It is one of the most important buildings of the North German Renaissance. Now used for exhibitions and as a registry office.
