The castle was a fief of the provost man Chamber of the Aachen Marie cloister. The first known owner of house and home "zen Roideren" in the parish Walhorn was Johan van den Roiderer (1426). At that time, the castle consisted of a residential tower, known as a "dungeon" with an almost quadratical floor plan. Separated by a court, stood a kitchen. The farm buildings were located at its present location. Access to the courtyard was out of the north east. The entire property was surrounded by two moats and several ponds.Layout of the original plan of the Raeren castle in the 14th century
