Шаблон:Infobox settlement Geesteren (Tweants: Шаблон:Lang) is a village in the eastern Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Tubbergen, Overijssel about 9 km northeast of Almelo.
It was first mentioned in 1268 as Geysteren. The etymology is unclear.[1] Around 1800, it developed into a village around the Catholic church.[2] In 1840, Geesteren together with Harbrinkhoek and Langeveen were home to 1,329 people.[3] The Roman Catholic church, St. Pancratius, is named after Pancras of Rome, and dates from 1926.[2]
Every year an international concours hippique is organised at Erve Maathuis mainly focussing on show jumping. In 2019 this 'CSI Twente' celebrated its 45th anniversary.[3]
A landmark alongside the main road is the windmill 'Grote Geesterse Molen' which dates from 1867.[2]
