Pfarrkirche hl. Ägydius, Sankt Gilgen, Parish church in Sankt Gilgen, Austria

Pfarrkirche hl. Ägydius is a baroque church in Sankt Gilgen built on elevated ground overlooking Lake Wolfgang, marked by its tall tower and white-painted walls. Inside, the church features ceiling frescoes and painted side altars, alongside a modern three-manual pipe organ that replaced an earlier instrument.

A church in St. Gilgen is first documented in 1376, then a filial of Thalgau parish; it became a vicariate in 1560 and a parish church in 1856. The church was rebuilt in Gothic style in 1425, and its tower was struck by lightning in 1704 and rebuilt between 1705 and 1728. The present nave was begun in 1767 and consecrated in 1769.

The parish celebrates its patron saint Giles on 1 September. The high altar shows his sermon, flanked by Saints Wolfgang and Nicholas, probably carved by Simeon Frieß. The side altarpieces follow Paul Troger's style, depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Adoration of the Magi.

The church stands at the eastern edge of Sankt Gilgen's centre, where the ground drops toward the Wolfgangsee shore, and is enclosed by a walled cemetery. Visitors enter through the Gothic porch on the west tower, whose wall bears the year 1425. The parish belongs to the Fuschl am See–St. Gilgen–Strobl pastoral association; the patronal feast of St Giles falls on 1 September.

Adjacent to the church stands a cemetery chapel from the 18th century featuring artwork focused on death and remembrance, with graves spanning centuries. This small chapel offers a starkly different mood from the main building's decoration.
