The building was constructed between 1531 and 1546 under Wilhelm von dem Bongard entirely of brick in the Renaissance style on the foundation walls of a previous building. The two-part complex is surrounded by a large moat, which used to be fed by the Erft River. It is accessible through two opposite gate buildings at the junction between the outer and main castle. One gate leads to the park. The front of the castle faces the park.
A three-sided outer castle with farm buildings adjoins to the northwest. Wall anchors with the dates 1745 and 1753 show the date of rebuilding these components.
From 1861 to 1865 the castle was rebuilt by Ludwig von dem Bongart in the neo-Gothic style according to the plans of the Cologne architect August Carl Lange. Thus it received turrets, battlements, balustrades and balconies.
