history

The castle complex was formerly part of the property of the Frankish King Pippin and was transferred to the Prüm Abbey by him .

The history of the castle counts many owners, for example in the 14th century Count Wilhelm von Neuenahr was a feudal lord , in 1569 Johann Kessel von Nürburg was enfeoffed with the property by Duke Wilhelm von Jülich and in 1627 the von Schall family came to Schwadorf by marriage the possession. (Johann Heinrich Schall von Bell was married to Agnes Kessel von Nürburg)

The son-in-law (of Johann Heinrich Schall von Bell) Johann Wilhelm Freiherr von Randerath zu Pesch und Schaven, who was married to his daughter Catharina Schall von Bell, the heiress of Peppenhoven, was enfeoffed with the Peppenhoven house on July 16, 1655.

In 1672 Peppenhoven passed as dowry (marriage property) to Nicolaus von Werll, who was married to the daughter Anna Catharina, Baron Johann Wilhelm von Randerath.

On July 9, 1696, his son Johann Franz von Werll received the Peppenhoven fief. In 1697 the Counts of Werl had the main house rebuilt. On May 18, 1701, Franz Theodor Adolph von Werll, the son of Johann Franz, was enfeoffed with Peppehoven. After the vassal's death, the feud fell back in 1703 (reverted to the duchy due to lack of heirs). The widow Anna Sophia von Bünninghausen, who was left behind, objects that her dowry (marriage penny) was used to improve the fief.

In 1717 the Frisian Peter Ludwig Freiherr von Albada was enfeoffed (on March 2, 1725) and in 1744 Johann Anton Freiherr von Martial . In 1811 the von Vorst zu Lombeck family was named as the owner and in 1826 the ancestors of the current owner and resident Freiherr Maximilian von Böselager .
