    The Franciscan monastery and monastery church of Güssing are located in the town of Güssing in the district of the same name in the Austrian state of Burgenland. The entire complex was originally part of the former city fortifications and is now a listed monument (list entry). The monastery and pilgrimage church of the Visitation of Mary, which was elevated to a minor basilica in 2013, belongs to the deanery of Güssing in the diocese of Eisenstadt.
