The first predecessor of the present-day castle was built shortly before 1340 as an allodial property of the von Neuroth family of castle knights. In 1584, after several changes of ownership, it passed by inheritance to the lower noble family of Brambach. This united the associated estates with those of an older ministerial family of Neuroth, who had already established a farmstead elsewhere in the district before 1222. Furthermore, the House of Brambach acquired other scattered rights to the small settlement, thus creating a unified estate. In 1687, Johann Philipp von Brambach sold the castle for 13,000 Rhenish guilders to Wilhelm Rheinhard Freiherr von Walderdorff. The family, elevated to the rank of Imperial Lords in 1660, was pursuing a strategy at this time of consolidating its holdings around its ancestral seat, Molsberg Castle. The acquisition of the Neuroth estate likely falls within this context. Since the time of the Brambach family, and from the second half of the 19th century onward under the Walderdorff family, the estate served as a secondary residence for the family. When no family members resided there, it housed foresters and administrators of the count's estates. The tenants of the adjacent farmyard were responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the manor house. The Walderdorff family still owns the estate today. They continue to use it as their residence and farm numerous fields in and around Bilkheim.

The castle building, built in 1786, is directly opposite the castle building, separated by the castle courtyard.

The moated castle Neuroth in Bilkheim is located with the adjoining estate, framed by tall trees, on the outskirts of the village. The baroque palace was built by the Brambachers in the 17th century and represents centuries of aristocratic history and the associated history of the village. Although it is privately owned, it is a feast for the eyes of every walker. The Nassau Annals report that the property was acquired by Wilhelm Reinhard von Walderdorff in 1687 for 13,000 Rhenish guilders. However, some sources tell of a change of ownership as early as 1682. The moated castle is the only one of its kind in the Westerwald district and for a long time served as the widow's seat of the Counts Walderdorff, who resided in the main castle in Molsberg, which is within sight.

Currently (October 2021) there is no prohibition sign to be found. The bike fits well through the obstacle, then it goes steeply uphill (tarred). Great view of the surrounding area from above.
