Droste zu Senden was entrusted with the Gogericht zu Senden in 1510 by the mayor and council of the city of Münster, and in 1519 he was elected by the provincial authorities as the executor of the state association. 1587 is reported by the pillage and plundering of the village and the house sending by the "Hispanic" during the Spanish-Dutch Eighty Years War .

 

By inheritances 1680 good Patzlar and 1713 good Isingholt were added, 1729 good Venhaus by purchase. [1]

The castle was occupied by British soldiers during the Second World War, partly devastated and plundered. In 1957 it sold the baronial family Droste zu Senden , which, however, to this day holds the associated estate and the Senden'schen Hof in Münster; new residence was the nearby forester Wulfshoek.

 

The purchaser of the castle operated there first a commercial school board, then a retirement pension and finally since the 1980s until the late 1990s, a hotel, which was closed after a fire in the attic. Thereafter, the building was largely empty and housed only the sculptor courses of the Art School Send. D
