The St. Trinity consecrated church was built around 1480 by the Bergischen Hereditary Marshal Bertram von Nesselrode and his wife Margarethe von Burscheid on a ledge at the foot of their castle after they had first reached the elevation of a smaller chapel at the same place to the parish church. In order to be able to reach the church comfortably from the castle, there was a direct, now walled-up entrance from the entrance area of the castle to the west gallery of the church. The church had several functions: it was a castle chapel, parish church, burial place for the donors and a monastery church.
The donors are shown in the left choir window of the church and are buried in the nave in front of the choir. No major structural changes have been made to the church since it was built. Thanks to its status as a parish church, the church was preserved during the secularization and services were never stopped. (Source: Kloster-ehrenstein.de

The castle was first mentioned in 1331 as the property of Rorich von Uetgenbach (1312–1345), who has called himself Herr zu Ehrenstein since then. [1] Later it came into the possession of the gentlemen von Nesselrode, who owned the castle until it was relinquished in 1993.
During the Thirty Years War the castle was destroyed by Swedish troops and has not been rebuilt since then.
