Karner St. Pantaleon, Mödling, Romanesque church building in Mödling, Austria

The Karner St. Pantaleon features a circular chamber measuring 7.90 meters in diameter with stone walls and a baroque bell tower topped by wooden onion domes.

Built in the 12th century during the Babenberg dynasty rule, this structure served as a charnel house where bones from abandoned graves near St. Othmar's Church were stored.

The chapel contains medieval frescoes depicting the Three Kings' adoration of Madonna and Jesus, along with other biblical scenes dating from the mid-13th century.

The interior of the building requires advance notice for visits, and arrangements can be made through local administrative contacts to access the historical structure.

The basement vault, accessed from the south side, witnessed a tragic event in 1683 when local inhabitants seeking refuge were discovered by Ottoman forces.
