The Hyrtl Orphanage was an orphanage in Mödling (Mödling district) in Lower Austria. The first three building sections were built in 1886 by master builder and architect Eugen Sehnal, and the further buildings were erected by various master builders until 1906. The financing was possible because the well-known anatomist Josef Hyrtl donated his fortune for the construction. In 1906, the complex reached its greatest extent.
