Bawenole inferiore is first mentioned in documents in 1324. Around 1433, the von Plettenberg family acquired half of the property in Bamenohl through marriage. During the Thirty Years' War, Adam Vogt von Elspe erects another building, today's east wing IN GREAT CRIME, STRYT AND RESISTANCE, as it says on a stone slab. In 1788, the niece of the last bailiff of Elspe married Karl Wilhelm von Plettenberg - Heeren, whose grandson Carl Gisbert Wilhelm gave the house its present form between 1851 and 1870: he had the moat filled in, connected the two buildings, erected a tower and laid out the English landscape park.
Haus Bamenohl subsequently became the summer residence of the von Plettenberg family. After the Second World War, it initially serves as refugee accommodation, then a retirement home moves in. In 1967, serious damage to the building fabric was discovered, making further use impossible for twenty years. After another two decades, the renovation work was completed in 2006 and the buildings shone in new splendor.
The ensemble of castle, courtyard grounds and park with ponds is a listed building and is still inhabited by the Barons of Plettenberg and is therefore not accessible to the public without prior arrangement. However, rooms for exclusive events are available on the first floor. Since spring 2019, there has also been a vacation apartment in the main building.
