Special exhibition 2025
\u201cThe pelican over G\u00fcssing – 500 years of the Batthy\u00e1ny family at the castle\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A historic event is being commemorated at G\u00fcssing Castle this year: 500 years ago, on 30 June 1524, Franz Batthy\u00e1ny acquired the castle and its lands from the Hungarian king Louis II. To mark this anniversary, the exhibition Der Pelikan \u00fcber G\u00fcssing (The Pelican over G\u00fcssing) offers an insight into the castle\u2019s development across five centuries in the hands of the Batthy\u00e1ny dynasty.

\u201cThe Pelican over G\u00fcssing\u201d<\/strong>
The exhibition is the result of collaboration between the state of Burgenland and the Burgstiftung G\u00fcssing foundation, and will be presented in three languages: German, Hungarian and English. It spans nine rooms, the first two illustrating the castle\u2019s role as the ancestral home and seat of power of the Batthy\u00e1ny dynasty. Family treasures and part of the archives will be on display. The family history of Balthasar III and his son Franz II is explored in great detail, both of whom presided over G\u00fcssing\u2019s heyday as the centre of power and the family\u2019s main residence. The last Batthy\u00e1ny to hold all the family estates, Adam I, is considered the forebear of all later descendents. He founded the Franciscan monastery where the family crypt is located \u2012 a special chapter in his story.

The exhibition Der Pelikan \u00fcber G\u00fcssing (The Pelican over G\u00fcssing) is a unique opportunity to discover the rich history of G\u00fcssing Castle and the House of Batthy\u00e1ny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
