Burg Güssing, Medieval castle and museum in Güssing, Austria
The stone fortress stands on a volcanic rock formation at 47 degrees north latitude, providing views extending to the Hungarian plains.
Originally constructed as a wooden fortification in 1157, Burg Güssing became the residence of the Batthyány family in 1524 and underwent multiple expansions.
The castle museum displays 5,000 artifacts, including an ancestral portrait gallery and weapons that document the regional military and social developments.
Visitors can access the castle using an inclined elevator that costs 2 euros, with the site operating from March through October, Tuesday to Sunday.
The structure forms part of the Schlösserstrasse route, connecting various fortresses across South Styria and South Burgenland regions of Austria.
