Kittsee Castle is located on the outskirts of the town center. Surrounded by a park, this Baroque castle is one of the most important sights in northern Burgenland.

Another major renovation took place in the mid-18th century, when Prince Paul Anton Esterházy had it rebuilt in the Baroque style.

Tabor - ruins are the city's secret landmark For a long time, this castle ruin was thought to be a Roman building. In fact, it dates back to the Middle Ages. Experts have differing opinions about its function: some believe it was a royal residential castle, others a defensive tower. The wall construction suggests that the building was built in the 14th/15th century. In any case, Tabor was later used for defensive purposes. In 1708, it was fortified with palisades and wooden posts, but was still unable to withstand the onslaught of the Kurucs. The Tabor ruins are located on a hill and from the high walls of the ruins you have a wonderful view of the city and the lake.

The original castle was named on the occasion of the wedding of the Hungarian King Bela IV's son to Kunigunde of Brandenburg in 1264. Around 1870 the estate was sold to the Batthyány-Strattmann family. The doctor Ladislaus Batthyány-Strattmann, who was beatified in 2003, ran a hospital here from 1902. Repairs to the castle began in 1966. The rear part of the old castle was largely destroyed by a bomb during the Second World War. There was no more recovery. Attempts at renovation were soon abandoned in 1966. The castle remained in ruins. Only the front part was inhabited for a long time. It is privately owned.
