It is thought that the castle began construction in 1300.

[1] The castle is located on the northern edge of the village.

The castle was rebuilt in 1600 on the foundations of an earlier structure; The present castle was destroyed by fire in 1795 and is now preserved as ruins: the ring wall with towers, the remains of three extended round towers with a basement underneath and the remains of the gatehouse.

These are flanked by semicircular towers, all built with limestone brick.

Batenburg Windmill was formerly owned by the castle.
