Mödling, Historic town district in Lower Austria, Austria

Mödling occupies a strategic position at the entrance of the Brühl Valley, connecting the Vienna Woods with the Vienna Basin at 246 meters elevation.

The town received its first documented mention in 907 and later developed around a medieval castle, which now stands as preserved ruins above the settlement.

Between 1818 and 1819, composer Ludwig van Beethoven resided in Mödling, where he worked on sections of his masterwork, the Missa Solemnis.

The municipality functions as a residential suburb of Vienna, with frequent train connections enabling residents to reach the Austrian capital in under 20 minutes.

The St. Othmar Church, constructed in the 12th century and rebuilt between 1454 and 1523, displays architectural elements from both Romanesque and Gothic periods.
