The castle is first mentioned in 1135. Afterwards the castle became dilapidated and it was rebuilt by Hieronymus Van Copis (1635-1653). But the water castle, probably so called because of the ring moat that surrounds the complex, had a turbulent history. In 1636 it was plundered by Croatian troops led by the German Jan, Count von Werth, and in 1637 it was destroyed again, this time by Dutch troops. In 1654, Lorraine troops occupied the castle and in 1728 it burned down completely due to an accident. It was J.B.C. Le Roy, baron van Binderveld, who rebuilt the castle in 1729. We can see this from the date and the coat of arms of Le Roy-Coloba in the facade stone above the door of the living area. It became a semi-closed complex of which the gate tower and the house were preserved. The drawbridge was replaced by a stone bridge in 1865 by the Schrijnmakers family. The chapel had already been replaced in 1842 by the current church of Binderveld.

A few years ago it was transformed into Wijnslot Byrleveldt.
