Stadthauptpfarrkirche hl. Egid, Klagenfurt, Parish church in Klagenfurt, Austria.
St. Egid Main Parish Church stands in central Klagenfurt with a prominent tower around 92 meters tall, the second highest church tower in Carinthia. The building combines architecture from different periods and shapes the city's skyline.
The church was first mentioned around 1255 in records, though it took time to gain independent status. After earthquakes damaged the structure, it was rebuilt significantly in 1690 and received its current form.
The interior contains religious artworks with carved figures, paintings, and ornate ceiling designs that catch visitors' eyes when they enter. These pieces shape how the space feels today.
The church is accessible daily and has an observation area at height that offers views over Klagenfurt and surrounding landscapes. Visitors should prepare for stairs and wear sturdy shoes, especially when visiting the elevated viewpoint.
A family lived in the church tower for multiple generations, taking care of the clock system. This close bond between the building and those living there remains part of the town's story today.
