The arresting Burg Güssing rises dramatically over the river and town. The castle, which is a mix of ruins and ongoing renovations, contains plenty of weapons that once belonged to the invading Turks and Hungarians, striking portraits from the 16th century and a tower with 360-degree views. There are also widescreen vistas from the ramparts.
