Castles and Palaces in Burgenland
Güssing Castle
Built on a volcano hill in the midst of the magnificent landscape of southern Burgenland, the romantic fortress Güssing is one of the most beautiful castles of Austria – and rightly so. Established as early as 1157 as a wooden defence fortress, the castle today accommodates an important museum and has something to offer for guests of all age groups. Particularly impressive is the fantastic panorama which one can enjoy from atop of the bell tower.
Güssing Castle
Bernstein Castle
Once the oldest defence fortress of Burgenland, the Bernstein Castle today accommodates a hotel and restaurant. The outer castle courtyard as well as the artistically significant knight's hall are accessible to visitors by day. The ascent is well worth your while, for in addition to a tour of the impressive castle and its environs one can enjoy a wonderful view all the way to the East Styrian hill country.
Bernstein Castle
Forchtenstein Castle
The Forchtenstein Castle is more than just a mighty fortress construction. Out of a completely maintained armoury chamber with weapons, valuable booty treasures and trophies from the Turkish wars as well as silver jewellery and Exotica from far away countries can be found in the exhibition rooms. With over 20,000 exhibits the Forchtenstein Castle museum belongs to one of the biggest private museums of Central Europe.
Forchtenstein Castle
Schlaining Castle
Besides the cast iron art collection and the picture gallery, special exhibitions take place annually at Schlaining Castle. Particularly worth seeing are the knight's hall with its decoration paintings as well as the castle chapel with organ and high altar, dating back to 1750.
Esterházy Palace
The castle, located in the Burgenland metropolis Eisenstadt, has been owned by the Esterházy family since 1622 and is the most important cultural monument of this region. Its special location and generous construction lend a special attraction to this landmark of Burgenland. The former moat castle was developed in the middle of the 17th century into a splendid baroque castle and, among other things, was a place of creation for many years for Joseph Haydn. The hall named after him is the showpiece of the castle and one of the most beautiful and acoustically most attractive concert halls of the world.
