Tips from the Community
With the words “Ave Maria, gratia plena” (“Hail Mary, full of grace”) begins the angel’s greeting to the Mother of God, as he brings the heavenly message to Mary, who lived in Nazareth and was betrothed to Joseph, that she is to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The text, based on the Gospel of Luke, has become a widespread prayer that the faithful gladly address to the Mother of God to invoke her intercession or express their gratitude.

At the square below the church - and next to the castle - you will find the Marian column. It dates from the second half of the 17th century.

A sensationally beautiful castle (from the outside). We hiked past here and made a firm decision to pay this castle an extra visit. Really beautiful.

A beautiful historic building. With a huge section of the mill's machinery on display in front. I've walked past and through it a few times. It's always a great photo opportunity. Nearby, you'll also find some benches and a book exchange right next to the mill.

A truly beautiful church. It dominates the main square and the townscape. It boasts a lovely, well-maintained forecourt and plenty of places to rest. The church itself is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus and was originally built before 1578. The church in its current form was erected in 1780 and has been a listed building since 2002. You'll also find several places to eat and drink nearby, on the main square.

The best view in the district and always worth a visit. In summer, you can also experience live events on a specially installed stage in the castle courtyard as part of the Güssing Summer of Culture. But the well-preserved castle is worth seeing even at other times. And the view... absolutely stunning.
