In 1639 the fort was expanded with an academic herbal garden by members of Utrecht University, three years after its founding.

The lab was led by the first chemistry-only professor in Utrecht Johann Conrad Barchusen.

In 2013 its main function became a museum, organising viewing evenings for amateur astronomists.
