Around 1075 a '''Count named Gerlach''' is the owner of the''' castle Wickrath''' first mentioned. Just five years later, the castle became the property owned by the noble family Hochstaden. This property remains to 1335. From then on, the '''family of Broichhausen''' was the owner of the castle and dominion Wickrath, until it was conquered in 1486 by Archduke Maximilian I. He had given the rule Wickerath as an fief to Heinrich von Hopesch.
His heirs built from 1746, the castle into a palace in the Dutch baroque style, and constructed a large baroque park.
In 1839 the entire plant was Rhenish State Stud. The main building of the castle was demolished in 1859 due to disrepair and in its place built a country squire house.
Today in the former palace complex exists an equestrian center and the seat of Rhineland Stud Book. The entire system is under a preservation order since 1985.
