St. Ägidius, Catholic church in Vilseck, Germany.

St. Ägidius is a Catholic parish church in Vilseck whose white facade with tan stone trim rises above a broad stone stairway. An angled, octagonal bay projects toward the viewer, and the roof is covered in reddish-brown tiles, topped at the front by a small stone figure of Saint Giles. The central dark wooden double door sits below a tall, ornate window with a curved top; to the right are two tall arched windows with gray glass and two round windows. The nave, rebuilt 1751–1753, meets a Gothic choir begun in 1407.

The parish is documented since 1232 and was merged with Schlicht in the early 15th century. Construction of the Gothic church began in 1407, incorporating remains of an 11th-century Romanesque predecessor. The nave was rebuilt in 1751–1753 by mason Wendel Schwesinger under Johann Jakob Michael Küchel of Bamberg. The parish has belonged to the Diocese of Regensburg since 1661, before that to Bamberg.

Saint Ægidius, the patron saint, gives the church its name and is honored through religious artworks and decorations throughout the interior. The Baroque furnishings and multiple altars show how the space has served as a spiritual center for the local community across centuries.

The church stands on a stepped stone wall above a broad stairway, with the entrance through a dark wooden double door beneath a tall curved-top window. The parish house is directly next door. After the 2013 fire the interior reopened on 18 April 2015; the pulpit destroyed in the blaze is still to be reconstructed, and a three-dimensional model of it has been made.

The 1979 organ by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co. has 27 registers on two manuals and pedal, but its case with acanthus ornamentation was reused from an organ built in 1729 by Elias Hößler of Lauf. The south wall also holds a group of the Fourteen Holy Helpers with the Christ Child: eleven figures date from the early 16th century, the rest were added in the 18th century.
