After the occupation period, the castle was rented to the Paderborn Diocesan Caritas Association from 1947 to 1968 and then to a private school authority until 1998.

Since the turn of the millennium, the current lord of the castle, Wennemar Freiherr von Fürstenberg, has devoted himself to the renovation of the complex.

As an upscale venue, the castle has hosted many weddings, concerts, conferences and other events for 20 years now, which have been able to enjoy an extraordinary ambience within the beautiful historic premises.

However, the lord of the castle took this situation as an opportunity to have further restoration work carried out in order to continue operations in the future.

The central administration of Baron von Fürstenberg will in future be transferred to the "Schloss Herdringen Cultural Foundation" and the property will be converted into a museum as part of this.
