In 1254 the Bishop of Minden bought the place. 1385 enfeoffed Bishop Gerhard III. von Hoya den Burgmann at Vlotho Castle , Ludolf von Mönnichhausen , with two Hufen zu Haddenhausen as well as a number of Meierhöfen in surrounding places, which were then transformed into a manor house in the 15th century. Around 1460 the estate was destroyed in a feud between the bishops of Minden and Osnabrück.

When the Reformation was introduced in Minden, Johann von Münchhausen (* approx. 1466; † 1551) became an advocate of Catholicism and instigated armed conflicts with the city of Minden, which ended in 1530 with his defeat and the destruction of the complex. His involvement in a feud between the von Rottorp and von Rommel families over Rahden Castle had contributed to this. Therefore his sons migrated temporarily to Kurland from: Johann von Munchausen was initially canon in Bremen, from 1540 bishop in the diocese of Courland and in the Bishopric of Ösel-Wiek , his brother Christoph von Munchausen , which the material had taken Haddenhausen, went as a pin vogt with you Courland and was brief governor of Estonia from 1558 to 1560 before returning to Haddenhausen.

After a few changes of ownership within the family and finally a breakdown in the financial situation of the last owner Kurt (* 1560; † 1604), his brother Hilmar the Elder sold. J. von Münchhausen took over the estate as guardian for his nephews in 1610 to his son-in-law Johann von dem Bussche-Lohe .

The married couple Johann and Hedwig von dem Bussche had today's castle built in the Weser Renaissance style between 1613 and 1616. The builder was Eberhard Wilkening , who also created the Pied Piper House in Hameln . It is a two-wing palace complex with a bay window , a stair tower and many ornaments . To the south of the castle are farm buildings and the chapel from the early 17th century. The estate and castle are still owned by a family foundation, the von der Bussche-Hünnefeld'schen Stammlegat , which was established on March 1, 1690 by District Administrator Christoph von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld .

The property is used privately by the owner. The palace and palace garden are made accessible to visitors on open monument days or at concerts.
