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 that was set up 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.[3]
