Goudenstein Castle is a castle ruin in Haaften, a village in the municipality of Neerijnen in the Dutch province of Gelderland.From the 13th century there is talk of the castle, its builders and residents, the Van Haeften family. In the disaster year 1672, the castle was destroyed by the French troops of King Louis XIV, leaving only one corner tower. The tower is approximately 19 meters high and 3.5 meters in diameter. Halfway through, traces of tilting are visible in the wall work. The corridor was originally at this height, the wall below it has a thickness of 1.10 meters, while above it the wall is only 25 centimeters. The wall was probably raised in the 16th century. The Dutry van Haeften family, relatives but no direct descendants of the builders, retained the remaining tower until 1975. The Friends of Geldersche Kasteelen Foundation acquired the tower and took care of it.
