Burg Güsten stands in Jülich (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Despite its name, Burg Güsten is not a fortified castle but a former manorial farmstead located in the Güsten district of Jülich. The present four-winged complex, enclosing a trapezoidal courtyard, dates mainly from the second half of the 18th century, with later 19th-century alterations. The brick manor house, with light-coloured corner quoins, features a tower-like projection that originally served as a gatehouse leading into the courtyard. The grounds are now home to a riding stable and a stud breeding horses and ponies.
