Castle Gussing in Austria, Burgenland resort
Rating: 7,9/10 (1010 votes)  Gussing Castle is one of the medieval fortresses in Austria. The castle is located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by countless vineyards. The castle was built in 1542 as the ancestral home of the Counts of Battyani. Today, in the gallery of the Knights' Hall, you can see paintings depicting representatives of the Battyani clan. Towers, parapets and many other outbuildings of the castle date back to the XVI – XVII centuries. At that time, more than three thousand people lived in the castle, since the threat of the seizure of the castle by the Turkish army was quite great. One of the interesting collections of the museum is a set of snow-white porcelain decorated with patterns of gold flowers and leaves.
