On 28 March 1629, John VIII of Nassau-Siegen bought the barony of Ronse from the last descendants of the Granvelles. In April 1630 he began the construction of the castle similar to the noble residences in Brussels and settled as first lord on a regular basis in Ronse.
It became a monumental castle, which was to be regarded as an ancestral castle of the Catholic branch of the Nassaus in the Southern Netherlands. John of Nassau spent almost all his financial resources on the castle, which was completed after the plague epidemic of 1635-1636.
