Bouvigne Castle stands at the southern edge of the Mastbos forest, a few kilometres from the Breda city centre in what was once the village of Ginneken. The current building dates largely from the 16th and 17th centuries — a square water castle with corner towers, surrounded by a moat and a formal garden.
The interior is not open to the public on a regular basis, but the grounds and exterior are accessible. The castle makes a good endpoint for a walk or bike ride through the Mastbos, which is one of the largest planted forests in the Netherlands. The combination of the forest trails and the castle makes for a solid half-day excursion from the city centre.
