In 1357 the electoral Trier castle was given to the barons of Warsberg as a fief and remains in their possession until the end of the 18th century. In the 15th century the keep was built , in the 16th century the manor house , in 1830 the bells of the parish church of St. Peter were placed in the keep and in 1850 extensive renovations took place which changed the original condition considerably.
