The Herringhausen manor was established in the 16th century. The first owner was Rembert von Schorlemer from the Westphalian noble family Schorlemer . Leopold Anton Wilhelm von Schorlemer began in 1720 with the expansion into a representative palace complex . Plans by the architect Justus Wehmer from Hildesheim were probably used as a basis. The actual execution was initially in the hands of the stonemason Bartholomäus Rabaliatti and from 1722 by Valentin Springer from Tyrol . After Schorlemer's death, his son Joseph Clemens von Schorlemer continued construction.
