Castle Geijsteren...

is a ruin of a castle dating from the 13th century, located in the North Limburg village of Geijsteren, municipality of Venray, near the Maas.
The manor is first mentioned in 1251. In 1585 the castle was destroyed and in 1919 it burned down, with the entire house archive being lost. Some drawings and photos from the 20th century have been preserved, making it known what the castle looked like.
