Her brother Rudolf Johann Peter Bolton de Lasalle Louisenthal (1815-1892) was from 1866 to 1875 District Administrator of Merzig- Wadern.

In the years 1905/ 06, the Lasalle - heirs expanded the castle. Part of the building was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style. The main house and the chapel have since been joined by a historicizing intermediate building with tower segment. 1961 took over the Franciscan Sisters of the complex and set up a retirement home, which was later acquired by the Franciscan Sisters of Waldbreitbach.
