The Sayn family's website names Gustav, 7th Prince (Fürst) of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, at Berleburg Castle in the Wittgenstein region, as head of the whole house today [1]. It describes him as the son of Prince Richard, who died on 13 March 2017, and Princess Benedikte of Denmark [1].
The regional news site wa.de reported in 2025 that Fürst Gustav zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg lives at the castle, which remains partly open to the public through guided tours [2]. The castle museum shows the history of the princely house and the Wittgenstein region [1].
