Bouvigne is an important mansion and was never used as a hunting lodge. The hunting grounds of the Oranges were located north of the Prinsenhof (Breda Castle) and near the Liesbos. The Mastbos is a landscaped production forest for wood. It is not clear what Filips-Willem used the castle for, he lived at the Prinsenhof. Perhaps he made it available as the home of a steward.
A total of eight princes in succession owned the castle. In 1637 it was the headquarters when Prince Frederick Henry besieged the city of Breda in order to put an end to Spanish rule. In 1774 Hendrik Carel van Naerssen opposed plans to demolish the building due to neglect. The Nassau Domain Council admitted. The wealthy coffee grower George Ruysch renovated the castle and renamed it Bouvigne (so it was called in 1802 in a deed of sale). In 1930, the castle came into the hands of the government and was rented out for a long time to the Catechists of the Eucharistic Crusade (Pius X Foundation).
