Since when there was a castle Leerodt and who built it is no longer known. But already at the beginning of the 14th century, the knight's seat as "curia de Leirode" and the knight family of the same name in 1308 are mentioned in a document. The ensilbe “rode”, “roide”, “rodt” suggests that the castle, probably in the post-Carolingian period, was built in a cleared area, such as the surrounding villages of Randerath, Uetterath, Tripsrath and Süggerath.
