The name "Rijsbergen" was given to the building in 1757 by the owners of the island, the "Stachouwer" family (in those days the "Lords of the island") when they built it as their home in that year. In that period the old village "Westerburen" was washed away by the sea and the current village was extended eastwards.

Also the subsequent owners of the island (the Dutch lawyer and businessman J.E. Banck and the German counts Von Bernstorff) have used the house as their "second home". The last German count, Bechtold Eugen van Bernstorff, was expropriated by the Dutch state in 1945 after which island and house went over in Dutch hands.

"Rijsbergen" in present times:
Today, the monumental front and the beautiful location are still intact. The remainder of the building has been changed and modernized over time. Unfortunately, of the old interior nothing remains. In the main building the reception/house bar, the breakfast rooms and -on the 1st floor- several rooms are located.

Behind the main building, a new wing constructed in 1998 houses the majority of the double rooms (on the ground floor).
