A beautifully situated and well-preserved moated castle whose history dates back to the 13th century.

In 1830 the property came to Clemens August Waldbott von Bassenheim-Bornheim through marriage. At the end of the 19th century the family moved to Hungary, so that in 1894 a relative of the owner, Clemens Freiherr von Loë-Longenburg, bought the property and passed it on to his nephew Walter Freiherr von Loë. In 1976, the son Clemens Freiherr von Loë rented the facility to the Bergerhausen Psychotherapeutic Institute headed by Hans-Werner Gessmann. The institute developed it into a therapeutic center by 1989. After the sudden death of Walter Freiherr von Loë and his son Clemens, the community of heirs sold the castle complex to Josef and Willy Stollenwerk, the previous leaseholders of the courtyard lands. They renovated the buildings in 1984.

It is still preserved today as one of the three castles in Bergerhausen. The moated castle was built in the 13th century and was the ancestral seat of the Knights of Bergerhausen. Around 1320, the Bergerhausen brothers sold part of their property to the Mariengradenstift in Cologne. The archbishops of Cologne acquired power to defend their sovereign territory. In 1334 Archbishop Walram gave Bergerhausen Castle to the knight Hans-Ulrich von Bergerhausen for services rendered. Around 1430 the descendants provided the castle with strong fortifications. Nella († 1442), heiress to Wilhelm von Bergerhausen, brought the property into her marriage to Statz von dem Bongart in 1424. The current castle was expanded in the 16th century. In 1830 the property came to Clemens August Waldbott von Bassenheim-Bornheim through marriage. At the end of the 19th century the family moved to Hungary, so that in 1894 a relative of the owner, Clemens Freiherr von Loë-Longenburg, bought the property and passed it on to his nephew Walter Freiherr von Loë. In 1976, the son Clemens Freiherr von Loë rented the facility to the Bergerhausen Psychotherapeutic Institute headed by Hans-Werner Gessmann.
