Stadthauptpfarrkirche hl. Egid, Klagenfurt, Parish church in Klagenfurt, Austria.
The City Main Parish Church of St. Egid rises in central Klagenfurt with a prominent tower reaching 91.7 meters into the sky, making it the second tallest church tower in Carinthia.
Originally mentioned in 1255 as a vicariate of Maria Saal, the church obtained parish rights in 1303 and underwent reconstruction in 1690 after damage from multiple earthquakes.
The church interior displays detailed sculptures, paintings of the Last Supper, decorated ceilings, and four side altars that represent significant religious artistry.
Visitors can access the church daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with an observation platform at 50 meters height offering views over Klagenfurt and the Slovenian Alps.
A family resided in the church tower for generations, maintaining the clock mechanism and establishing a direct connection between the building and local community.
