    The motte-and-bailey castle was surrounded by a moat. Presumably, as documented elsewhere, a chapel was founded in the outer bailey, which developed into a parish church in the 14th century.

    A knight named Arnold von Henrichenburg is first mentioned in 1263.
    It is fairly certain that this Arnold von Henrichenburg did not yet inhabit the castle, which was excavated in 1994 on the Emscher River, but rather an older castle site located in the immediate vicinity of the old parish church and depicted on a historical map from 1818.
