October 9, 1683
Sobieski pursued the retreating Ottomans into Hungary and struck at Párkány (modern Štúrovo), across the Danube from Esztergom. A first Polish assault on October 7 was repulsed with heavy losses, but two days later the combined Polish-Imperial force attacked again and destroyed the Ottoman garrison. The fortress of Esztergom surrendered shortly after, reopening the Danube.
