In the immediate vicinity of the place is the Iron Age fortification on the sheep's heads . A predecessor settlement with a church was mentioned in 1072 in the deed of foundation of the Grafschaft monastery as the main courtyard of the Electorate of Cologne. The city was founded as planned before 1297 on a hilltop to protect against Arnsberg by the Archbishop of Cologne. The place with the church of St. Clemens and a town hall was fortified by a city wall and three gate towers. Since the Middle Ages , Kallenhardt belonged to the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia and in 1802 came to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . From 1808 the city wall was torn down. In 1811 the Kallenhardt district was founded. This came in 1815 to the Kingdom of Prussia and the Brilon district . In 1820 the place moved to the Lippstadt district .
