The counts of Rechteren inherited the castle, and it is nowadays still the family's property.

During the Second World War the castle offered shelter to some 60 refugees from Katwijk, Noordwijk and Scheveningen.

In 1591, Prince Maurice of Orange requested the owners to dismantle all fortification elements, so that the Spanish troops would not be able to seize an important military stronghold.

The vestibule contains many family portraits, and there is a white salon designed in rococo style.

The dinner room is decorated with paintings by Herman ten Oever, depicting scenes from Greek mythology.
