The area in the northwest of Wuppertal was settled as early as 1150. The Beek farm was first mentioned in a document in 1542. In waiver book is with this years entry that Frederick's son had received in Beek and his housewife half yard in the "Beg" by her father. At that time the farm belonged to the property of the Archdiocese of Cologne . Later the farm came to the Bergisches Amt Elberfeld and was subordinate to the Elberfeld farm association when the buildings that are preserved today were built in the second half of the 18th century.

On July 7, 1992, the original manor house including the brick barn was placed under monument protection.

Brick barn

The former manor house on the Varresbeck stream is now used as a residential building. In September 1985, the wine merchant Peter Bothmann opened a wine shop with a shop in the brick barn, which is also a listed building, and in the northern half of the house. The wine trade was stopped at this location in May 2017.
