The history of the founding of the Güstener Burg has not yet been clarified. The current facility was possibly built in the second half of the 18th century [2] on the foundations of the medieval Harffenburg. At the time, this was the seat of the bailiffs who were appointed by the Prüm Abbey to manage their Güstener estates. It is possible that Güsten Castle is a successor to Harffenburg, but this has not yet been confirmed. The tranchot map from the beginning of the 19th century shows Güsten Castle as a closed four-wing complex surrounded by a multi-part ditch system. At that time it was owned by the Coenen family, from which it came to the Bürsgens family in 1846. The last member of the family bequeathed the property to his nephew on his death in 1956, who sold the facility to Rheinbraun around 1980. [3] In 1996, the Hoffarths bought the building [4] in order to use them as a riding stables and stud. Today, among other things, Rhenish warmblood horses and Dartmoor ponies are bred there.
