In 1358 Johann von Raesfeld took over the house and freedom. In the meantime it was a fiefdom of the County of Ravensberg and the Essen monastery . The von Raesfeld family held the moated castle for over 400 years .
Due to bankruptcy, the manor fell to Count August Ferdinand von Merveldt zu Lembeck in 1825 . A fire in 1934 changed the appearance of the complex.
