The present castle dates back to a fortress first mentioned in the mid-14th century. After the castle was partially destroyed by fire on February 1, 1830, it was rebuilt several times. The then fortress and the later castle were owned by the Westerholt family until the end of World War II. Allied troops used the castle as accommodation. Later, the building fell into disrepair and stood empty for several decades.
In 1993, the castle underwent extensive renovation and now houses a hotel as well as a café-restaurant with an adjacent golf course.
