Geesteren is a village in the eastern Netherlands, located in the municipality of Berkelland, Gelderland. It was hit by a small tornado 1988, which lifted the party tent to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Geesteren and moved it two meters.
Geesteren was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with nearby Borculo.[1]
Buildings
Geesteren is well known for its church, which is one of the three churches in Europe with a stepped gable, as a result of this, the tower is topped by two weather cocks instead of just one.
The wind powered grist mill De Ster (The Star) was built in 1859.
