History

The village was first mentioned in 1485 as Vorsschenbosch. The etymologie of the first word is unclear. It can either mean "front (nearest) forest" or "forest with frogs".[4]

Vorstenbosch was home to 355 people in 1840. The St Lambartus Church dates from 1932.[5] Before 1994 it formed with Nistelrode the municipality Nistelrode.
