It's practically the "center of the world" in Southern Burgenland. It's been perched atop a volcanic cone for centuries and is impossible to miss. And the view from the top is truly magnificent, in all directions. Admission to the castle courtyard and the view is free. However, exhibitions on various topics are also regularly held within the walls themselves. An admission fee applies for these. All in all, a must-see for every visitor to Southern Burgenland.

The patronage of this church, "Maria (or, alternatively, the Assumption of Mary," refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary. It dates back to the Feast of Her Assumption into Heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In Orthodox churches, the feast is called "Dormition of the Virgin Mary." In many rural areas, it used to be customary for the population to gather bundles of herbs on this day and bless them during the festive service. This custom has been partially preserved or, in some places, revived.

I love this castle! I am happy that it can be visited freely and there is less interference from posterity than in the case of other larger castles in the area. ... there will be good summer programs for sure and I will also award the creative exhibition... Wheelbarrows!😄👍

A castle with history... We were unable to see the exhibition this time due to time constraints, but we will of course do so later, but we enjoyed the castle and its aura. A beautiful place where you can enjoy the view.

Güssing Castle is the oldest castle in Burgenland; it was built on an extinct volcano. Unfortunately, cycling is prohibited within the wall, so there is a “bicycle parking lot” to the right in front of the entrance.
