The Battle of Niš was fought on 24 September 1689,[3] near the city of Niš in southern Serbia, between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire as part of the Great Turkish War.

The Austrian commander, Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden, defeated the Ottomans and captured the city.

When Louis William learned that there were no Ottoman defensive positions on Vinik,[clarification needed] he ordered Pavle Nestorović to attack it.

[1] Nestorović managed to bypass the right flank of the Ottoman forces and win the battle.

The Ottomans retook Niš the following September after the Austrians abandoned the city.
