building
The plant parts, the outer bailey , the main bailey and the large park are spread over three islands . The structures grouped over the islands were built between the 15th and 20th centuries. The buildings are mostly made of brick , and rubble was also used. The manor house on the main island was built at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, Oberhofmarschall Jobst Stephan von Kerckerinck zur Borg had the Baroque master builder Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius carry out major renovations and extensions .
In 1988 Haus Borg, which had been in the family since 1466, was sold to the industrialist Dreier from Dortmund . Josef Freiherr von Kerckerinck zur Borg, a shark lover and diver, is the only member of the family who still has a lifelong right of residence in the Pictorius building of the castle and lives there a few months a year.
