The Paderborn court master Heinrich von Westphalen acquired the Laer estate in 1602 and built a representative manor house in 1608 using older structures. The portal and the dome of the portal tower were built in 1669 and the castle complex was extended in 1764.

A beautiful footpath leads from the castle to the Klausenkapelle chapel with beautiful views over Meschede.

The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.
