The mention of the Lords of Möcklinghof suggests that a castle-like structure was built in the 14th century on the Mühlenbach stream, which flows south of the village of Datteln. No information is available about its appearance, as Möcklinghof was abandoned as a noble residence soon after the Möcklinghof family died out. The large pond near the house, the remains of which still exist today in a modified form, was dug between 1555 and 1571 and likely served primarily to supply water to the mill.
