View of Güssing Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Güssing Castle can be seen from afar from all sides! However, she has already seen her best times. 😪
Obviously it is not easy to maintain such a large system, but it is urgently time to do something!

Güssing Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.

In keeping with the architecture of the mendicant order, the basilica is largely unadorned. The entrance to the basilica is on the west side with the coat of arms of the Batthyány family above it. Immediately to the right of the entrance area in the basilica is the tomb of the Blessed Dr. Ladislaus Batthyány-Strattmann. The high altar of the basilica was possibly designed according to a design by Philiberto Lucchese, documented by the sculptor and woodcarver Matthias Kern and the painter Wolfgang Resch, both from Graz, executed in 1649. The shape corresponds to a three-story building. According to the patron saint of the church "Visitation of the Virgin Mary" Marian themes are depicted on the high altar.
More detailed information about the basilica can be found at pfarreguessing.at/basilika.htm

The symbol of the region: the green water droplet. It can be found again and again in the Güssing district. For example, here in a prominent spot in the middle of the roundabout, with a view of the castle.

You can also ride the bike path flatter. This "detour" pays off because of the view!
