Burg Gussing is the oldest castle in Burgenland. On June 30, 1524, the castle was acquired by the Batthyany family, which retains ownership through a historical foundation that provides for the care and maintenance of the castle.
Today, the castle acts as a tourist attraction in addition to being an important historical structure. Theater performances, concerts and readings can be attended on the castle grounds during the summer months, and there is a family museum located within.
