Discover Güssing Castle, a highlight for anyone who enjoys exploring the past. The castle towers above the idyllic landscape of South Burgenland and offers a wonderful view from the castle hill over the town of Güssing, the Güssing Fish Ponds (a designated Ramsar wetlands site) and far beyond into the Hungarian lowlands.
In the castle museum, you can embark on an exciting journey through time. Explore the amazing history of the castle, which is chronicled and preserved by the museum in this former fortress.
A comprehensive collection – from the ancestral portrait gallery to the weapons collection – illustrates the glorious history of the Batthyánys, a powerful Hungarian dynasty.
The surprisingly large castle courtyard is a great place to relax and spend a few hours. In the summer, it also transforms into a spectacular open-air stage and is a venue for musical performances and various other events.
Güssing Castle awaits you – it’s always worth a visit!
