Gmunden Stadtpfarrkirche, Gothic parish church in Gmunden, Austria

Gmunden Stadtpfarrkirche is a Gothic parish church defined by pointed arches and ribbed vaults that rise prominently above the surrounding town. The building features a distinctive tower and is encircled by a cemetery containing gravestones and monuments spanning several centuries.

First documented in 1270, the church grew alongside Gmunden's salt trade. A cemetery with the Anna-Kapelle surrounded it in the 15th and 16th centuries; the chapel was demolished in 1844, but its gate now serves as the tower portal. Johann Michael Prunner built the 51.45 m tower with onion dome and lantern using medieval masonry, and in 1723 the west porch was added and the church re-consecrated by Passau bishop Joseph Dominikus von Lamberg.

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and to the Epiphany, also called the Holy Three Kings. The main altar holds Thomas Schwanthaler's group of the Adoration of the Magi, which became a model for many Christmas cribs in southern Germany. The tower gate comes from the Anna Chapel, demolished in 1844.

The church sits on an elevation in central Gmunden and is easy to locate due to its visible tower from throughout the town. The cemetery is freely accessible and offers peaceful paths for exploring the grounds and surroundings.

The high altar's Adoration of the Magi group was carved by Thomas Schwanthaler but made for an earlier altar; its realistic figures still serve as a model for many Christmas cribs in southern Germany. The two outer figures, Zacharias and Elisabeth, are by Michael Zürn the Younger.
