Yes, the siege of Vienna failed in 1683.

This was because of the Turkic army leader Kara Mustafa, who was not educated in this position, as he had lost a lot of previous battles. He lacked the right heavy artillery to attack the great protecting moat, walls and bastions of Vienna. His troops were frightened by the sudden appearance of the relieving army led by Jan III Sobieski, the Polish king of that time. Nevertheless, the relieving army was not only made of the poles, but also consisted of Germans and other Austrians. Kara Mustafa had underestimated the power of the relieving forces, and spent too much time focusing on his mining plans. He therefore fled to his safety, failing his siege of Vienna and leaving behind the wounded and the dead, as well as great booty for the Viennese folk.

What is Siege of Vienna?

The Siege of Vienna refers to two major battles in the history of the city: the first in 1529 and the second in 1683. The first siege was conducted by the Ottoman Empire under Suleiman the Magnificent but ultimately failed due to logistical challenges and fierce resistance from the defenders. The second siege, in 1683, marked a pivotal moment in European history as a coalition of Christian forces, led by Poland's King Jan III Sobieski, successfully relieved the city, leading to the eventual decline of Ottoman power in Europe. This victory is often seen as a turning point that helped secure the future of Central Europe against Ottoman expansion.
