The pearl of Southern Burgenland

Kasernenkapelle

A special and very solemn event was the inauguration the new barracks chapel on the grounds of the Montecuccoli barracks in Güssing. The Burgenland military priest Alexander Wessely has made a special effort to achieve this, that the Montecuccoli Barracks will have its own chapel with a bell tower. This chapel has now been consecrated by military bishop Christian Werner together with the town priest Father Raphael and Father Anton. The altar is made of plain wood with wooden thorns and contains the relic of St. Mauritius. Barracks Commander Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Erkinger was able to welcome numerous guests of honour. The chapel, which is subject to the military parish and not the city parish, was built by the students of the Pinkafeld vocational school and the pioneers of the Pinkafeld and Bruckneudorf barracks.
