Wegberg Castle is a water-walled complex whose moat encloses the castle area in a semicircle in the south, while it has a regular U-shape in the north.

The center of the castle complex is the two-story brick manor house with a high basement and neo-Gothic decorative elements. In the middle of its gable roof there is a roof turret with a small bell inside. The building is divided into nine axes by windows whose sills are made of bluestone, with the middle axis being particularly emphasized by a risalit with a small stepped gable at the end. A double staircase leads up to the central entrance.

To the southwest of the manor house there is a square brick tower with two floors and a pyramid roof. It guards an arched gate passage and dates from the 16th/17th century. Century.

The knight Johann von Berck, mentioned in a document in 1343, died as the last member of a family whose ancestral home was a castle at the confluence of the Fußbach and the Beecker Bach. The complex, surrounded by moats, was therefore called Berck Castle in the Middle Ages. Johann's daughter brought her to her husband's family, Sibodo von dem Bongar(d)t.

Sophia, daughter of Sibert von dem Bongar(d)t zu Vlatten und Wegberg and his wife Sophia von Wachtendonk, inherited Wegberg Castle when her father died in January 1524. The complex came into being through her marriage in 1547 to Johann von Nesselrode zu Ehreshoven to his family. The Counts of Nesselrode-Ehreshoven remained in their possession until 1869. That year they sold the castle and 600 acres of property to a Mr. Kaufmann-Asser from Cologne. He parceled out the land and sold the castle complex again. Their buildings were then almost completely demolished to make room for the construction of a modern residential building and a factory building.

In 1961, the municipality of Wegberg acquired the residential building complex, which was converted and leased for catering purposes. After a fire in 1972, in which the mansion partially burned out, the building was rebuilt and modern extensions were added. In 1995 the property became private property from the city of Wegberg and now houses a hotel-restaurant.
