Landgoed Geijsteren is located just outside Venray, a former seigneury that has been owned by the same noble German family for two centuries. You can take a nice quiet walk here, in the beautiful nature you walk past some historic buildings.

Ancient chapel
Landgoed Geijsteren is a varied nature reserve with woods, meadows and fields. The area is intersected by the stream valley of the Oostrumse Beek. This stream used to be an arm of the Meuse, but is now partly landfilled. You walk past the Gothic Sint-Willibrordus chapel from 1543. Court sessions and sacrificial acts were already held here in Frankish times. The chapel contains a Willibrordus statue from the seventeenth century and a reredos from the eighteenth century.

Rosmolen
A little further you walk past De Rosmolen, a water mill from 1667. Despite the name, it has never been a real horse mill. The mill house was damaged in 1944 when the bridge over the stream was blown up. Since 2000, the mill house has been able to grind again. At the mill there is a striking wood carving made from branches from the forest.
