The former Wentorf Castle is a multi-part complex. The oval main castle, measuring 63 meters long and 35 meters wide, rises 5 to 10 meters above the still-damp surroundings. A low rampart once encircled the main castle. Wide ditches separate it from an outer bailey to the east and a promontory to the west.

Around 1900, stone packing, charcoal, bones, pottery shards, and iron tools were excavated at the main castle. Further finds were recovered during regular inspections of the castle.

Based on a document from 1272, it is inferred that the castle may have belonged to a knight named Echardus Rowededer thereafter. The archaeological finds indicate use in the late 13th and 14th centuries.

Unfortunately, no remains of the castle complex, now a listed historical monument, are visible; only the castle hill remains.
