The Battle of Saint Gotthard (Hungarian: Szentgotthárd) was fought on August 1, 1664 between an Habsburg army led by Raimondo Montecuccoli and an Ottoman army under the command of Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed. The battle took place near Szentgotthárd and Mogersdorf in Western Hungary, near the present-day Austro-Hungarian border and is known as the Battle of Mogersdorf in Austria. The Turks were militarily defeated but were able to negotiate the Peace of Vasvár, which was highly favorable to them.
