Figuring out a probably-Austrian death location

Julia Szent-Györgyi

In the latest installment of Someone Is Wrong On The Internet (specifically on Ancestry), I discovered that someone has entered birth and death information on Geni for my spouse's distant relative by marriage: born January 22, 1843 in Sachsengang and died June 20, 1904 in Bahrn.

I figured out that Sachsengang is a palace just outside the Vienna city limits, and found the referenced birth in Probstdorf. (Assistance in deciphering it would be welcome: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/151227/what-does-it-say-happened-in-1863/p1?new=1.)

However, I'm having no luck whatsoever with "Bahrn".

If these dates/places are for the correct person, then her husband was a high muckety-muck with the Hungarian railroad, and the place could be just about anywhere, but he died in 1920 (as a widower) in Budapest, so I'm hoping it's somewhere not far from the Vienna-Budapest rail corridor. I'm reasonably familiar with Hungarian placenames, and this doesn't resemble any of them, hence my guess of "probably somewhere in Austria".

Does it ring any bells for anyone?

LATER: Here's her death record in the Roman Catholic church records in Vahrn Bei Brixen, Tyrol:https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSPR-PFLQ?i=106&cat=363033

@Christopher Kovach_1, yes, it helps to know that the reason I was getting nowhere with "Bahrns" is that it's actually Vahrns! (And the reason I couldn't find anything on Matricula-Online and GenTeam is that it's now Varna in Italy.) Thank you!

Does anyone have any idea where/if there are records for spa towns in Italy? (The heraldry-magazine article with the gravestone will do nicely as a source for her death date and place, but I was hoping for something with things like her birthdate or age and the names of her parents. And, in an ideal world, some indication of where and when she married.)

She was 62 years old when she died in 1904, giving a birthyear circa 1842.
