Behind a farm on Bussereindseweg in Beesel, oak wooden posts, marlstone blocks, and pottery shards were found in 1972 during the digging of a manure cellar for a pigsty. At the time, no further investigation was done until 1987, when the archaeology working group of the local history society Maas- en Swalmdal was informed and began an investigation. They had discovered in archives that these might be remains of the former Hof Tgen Raede, which once belonged to the Counts of Bentheim (Germany) and was the legal predecessor of Castle Nieuwenbroeck in Beesel.
In the 1987 investigation near the pigsty, a foundation about 25 meters long was found at a depth of 75 cm. When a test trench was dug on the other side of the pigsty, many pottery shards were uncovered, including Elmpter pottery, Andenne pottery, and pottery from Langerwehe and Siegburg (ca. 1300–1650). In May 1988, traces of a moat were also found.
In the mid-16th century, the farm lost its role as the center of the Bentheim fiefdom. This was due to the construction of Castle Nieuwenbroeck around 1560 on the other side of the Huilbeek stream.
