Falkensteinkirche, Protected pilgrimage church in Sankt Gilgen, Austria
The Falkensteinkirche stands near a cliff face along Lake Wolfgangsee, featuring four eastern chapels and one western chapel with stations of the cross.
Records from 1350 mention the initial Chapel of St. Wolfgang at this location, while the current church structure was established in 1626 by Johann Wilhelm Luger.
The church complex includes a natural sanctuary with a spring, cave, and rock carvings that reflect the religious traditions of the Salzkammergut region.
Visitors can access the church daily through the St. Rupert's Pilgrim Route, which connects the towns of Sankt Gilgen and Sankt Wolfgang.
Hermits resided near the church from 1659 to 1811, maintaining a skete discovered in the clearing below the religious structure.
