The theater was founded in 1975 by the artistic director Holk Freytag and is located in Moers Castle . Together with his ensemble, Freytag was able to assert itself nationwide in the 1970s and 1980s with its socially critical and experimental theater. The following directors also continued the programmatic line.

Under the motto "The theater goes into the city and brings the city into the theater", the Schlosstheater has been realizing projects under the direction of Ulrich Greb since 2003 on topics such as dementia (2005/06), poverty (2007/08) and death (2011 / 12).

From 2003, the theater's venues were expanded to include a fitness center, the tennis hall on Solimare and the council chamber in the New Town Hall. In 2005 the director Barbara Wachendorff was nominated for the German Theater Prize Faust 2006 and honored with the organizer prize of the NRW-Ticket GmbH.

Since 2006 the Schlosstheater Moers has had its own section for children and youth theater, the boy STM, which is headed by the theater pedagogue Holger Runge. The productions "From the devil with the three golden hairs" (2006), "Bonnie and Karl" (2012) and "Alice in Wonderland" (2016) were invited to the NRW theater festival WESTWIND.
