history
The complex was the residence of the ministerial family Northof, whose most famous representative was Levold von Northof (1279-1359), author of the Chronica comitum de Marka . Levold served the two Brandenburg bishops of Liège: Adolf II von der Mark and Engelbert von der Mark between 1313 and his death in 1359, as well as the House of Mark as a teacher.
After the facility was abandoned, Gutshof Nordhof was built in the neighborhood directly to the east. The castle complex can only be reached via the courtyard, which is privately owned, and therefore the Motte is inaccessible for sightseeing.
