From May to the end of September, a guided tour is offered to the public, from Wednesday to Sunday at 11:00 a.m. Access to the castle grounds is only possible as a hotel guest or during a tour.

In the late Middle Ages the castle belonged to the lords of Güssing, but after numerous battles, they finally had to give in to the will of the Hungarian king Robert of Anjou. The castle was last conquered in 1445, all subsequent sieges failed. 

In the 17^th century the magnificent Renaissance hall with its unique stucco work was built, and today it forms the heart of the present castle,. The most famous resident of the castle was probably László Almásy, whose life provided the basis for the film "The English Patient", which received nine Oscars.
