Heinrich von Westphalen, a court official from Paderborn, acquired the Laer estate in 1602. In 1608, he had a stately manor house built using existing structural elements. The portal and the dome of the portal tower were added in 1669. The castle complex was expanded in 1764.

A beautiful walking path leads from the castle to the Klausen Chapel, offering lovely views of Meschede.

The estate is privately owned and is not open to the public.
