On 25 October 1400, the Count of Tecklenburg had to give up Bevergern Castle and parts of his county to the Bishop of Münster.

Other Anabaptists were supposed to have been incarcerated at the castle and hanged in the gallows field between Bevergern and Rodde.

From 1634 to 1652 the castle was possessed by the House of Orange, who wanted thereby to establish their claim to the County of Tecklenburg.

On 15 February 1659 the Bishop of Münster paid the Prince of Orange 120,000 thalers to give up the castle and Bevergern.

In the period 6 to 15 March 1680 the castle was blown up by Bishop Ferdinand II out of concerns that the Dutch could reoccupy it from Lingen.
