Construction of a castle began as early as 1290, during the founding of the town of Borgholz. Over the centuries, the castle was garrisoned by the Prince-Bishops of Paderborn, who appointed several castellans and a judge. Ownership changed hands frequently, and nothing is known of the castle's original appearance.
In 1880, the von Detten family acquired the manor from the Dukes of Croy and owned it until 1974, when it was acquired by the Möltgen family.
The current castle buildings date from the early 20th century.
Vacation rentals are also available on the manor.
