Feldbach (German pronunciation: [ˈfɛltˌbax]; Slovene: Vrbna) is a town in the southeast of the Austrian state of Styria, near the Slovenian and Hungarian border.

Findings from the Neolithic period prove the early existence of a settlement in the area where Feldbach is now located.

In the 15th century, Feldbach was the setting of many conflicts between rival aristocratic families which caused destruction and pillages in the town.

Finally, after the Hajduks (which accompanied the attacking Ottoman Turks) destroyed the whole town, except the Tabor hill, a closed fortification with several gates was built.

Feldbach experienced a major economic upswing after the Hungarian Western railroad was opened in 1873.
