history
Parish history
A church is documented in 1376 in St. Gilgen (from ancient times still Oberdrum ) (index of cross flags of St. Peter Abbey). Originally a branch of the Thalgau parish , St. Aegidius became a vicariate around 1570 . The parsonage was no place here, and was built just above (today Pfarrgasse ). In the 17th century this church was too small for the growing place, and therefore the church expanded in the 1760s. In 1856 the church was elevated to a parish church.
From 1875 onwards, the Pfaare also entrusted a small child protection institution and poor labor school founded by Princess Wrede , under the direction of the Hallein school sisters . This house (today Mozartplatz 4, Raiffeisenkassa) also served as a sacristan's house. The school and sacristan's house was handed over to the community in 1870, and later the sacristan moved to the house at Pfarrgasse 2 (Meichle) by the church.
Today the parish belongs to the parish association Fuschl am See –St. Gilgen- Strobl .
Building history
In 1425 the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. On August 2, 1704, the church tower was struck several times by lightning and had to be partially removed; it was rebuilt from 1705 to 1728. Construction in its current form began in 1767 and was consecrated in 1769. Renovations took place in 1850 and 1899/1901, exterior restorations in 1926 and 1957, interior restorations in 1953 and 1967/69.
architecture
The church has a late Baroque nave and a Gothic west tower, which was raised in the Baroque style.
The Gothic west tower from the 14th century has domed, round-arched column arcades in the former sound floor. The elevation of the tower is built on a baroque cornice, above it an octagonal structure from 1705 with arched sound windows and a double-onion helmet from 1728. In the 15th century, the tower was presented with a still Gothic square vestibule with a hipped roof. It is open on the sides with profiled pointed arch arcades. The vestibule with a flat arched seating niche has a star rib vault over continuous shield arches and corner pillars. In the wall to the tower is the year 1425. The beveled pointed arch portal of the tower is probably older than the vestibule. There is also a red marble inscription grave slab with the year 1585/1587.
The nave, built from 1767 to 1769, has a simple exterior. The little indented choir has a flat, round choir closure with eaves and lateral curved arched windows. In the south by the choir is a two-storey extension with a sacristy and oratory.
The Gothic tower hall is equipped with a ribbed vault. The wide hall has a pressed barrel vault over a uniform surrounding cornice and a pilaster structure on the walls. The flat arched triumphal arch is slightly drawn in. In the west is a double gallery as a flat ceiling with Tuscan columns or pillar supports. The upper gallery was expanded in 1911/1912. The swinging parapets of the galleries have stucco frame fields.
In the southern spandrels of the church the prince's crypt chapel stands above the former ossuary (Karner). In 1879 the chapel was renewed as the grave of Prince Wrede from Hüttenstein Castle . The small chapel with facade forehead and arched and circular openings has a barrel vault. The chapel has a little eyelash tale from 1846 and a statue of Christ, which was transferred here from the former Hüttenstein castle chapel in 1884, and a red marble tombstone with the date 1492.
The ceiling painting in stucco fields probably goes back to a painting by the painter Joseph Beer (1770) and was created in 1899/1900 with the recording of St. Aegydius in Heaven and Sermon on the Mount painted over by the painter Josef Gold and renewed in 1954 and 1967.
Furnishing
The church has a late baroque interior with marbled wood.
The high altar from 1768 was renovated in 1850 and 1900 and restored in 1969 and filled with columns altarpieces with open Seitachsen under Volutenauszügen the broad conclusion from the choir. He shows the altar sheet Sermon of St. Aegydius and carries the side figures of hll. Wolfgang and Nikolaus , probably by the sculptor Simeon Frieß. The medallion Trinity in the extract is from the previous altar from 1695. The side altars show altar leaves in the succession of Paul Troger . The left side altar shows the adoration of the shepherds , carries the side figures of hll. Katharina and Klara , shows God the Father in the extract , and has a baroque tabernacle. The right side altar shows the adoration of the kings , carries the side figures of hll. Georg and Florian and shows St. Vitus .
The pulpit has a curved basket with seated figures of the evangelists . There is a baroque carved figure of Mary with child from the workshop of Meinrad Guggenbichler around 1705. The crucifixion group has a crucifix stylistically around 1700, with the figure of St. Maria added around 1760/1770, with the figure of St. Johannes Evangelist adapted in 1903 by the sculptor Johann Piger . There is a man of sorrows from the 1st half of the 18th century, the hll. Rochus and Sebastian from the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the 17th century. On the gallery parapet there is a seated figure of St. Johannes Nepomuk around 1768 between scenes from his life. The statuettes of the Falkenstein Church are hll. Rupert and Virgil (diocesan cartridges) from the 2nd quarter of the 17th century in custody. There are statuettes of church fathers and bishops and the hll. Virgil, Rupert and Simeon around 1768 from the former tabernacle. There is an oil painting of St. Mary and the helpers from the 18th century. A picture of Mariahilf comes from the 19th century.
In the Diocesan Museum Salzburg are Salzburg carved figures of the hll. Mary and John Evangelist from a crucifixion from the 4th quarter of the 15th century, which were part of the original furnishings.
The polygonal font on a base from the 15th century is made of red marble. A steamed offering box is marked 1690. In addition to the baroque inscription tombstone from the 18th century, there is a classical marble tomb of Berchtold zu Sonnenburg, dated 1801.
organ
The middle part of the organ case comes from Ludwig Mooser , who built a new organ in 1841. In 1913, Hans Mertel added two side panels to it. In 1937/1938 the Dreher & Flamm company built a new plant. In 1991 the Rieger company created a three-manual organ with the upper gallery removed and the organ case stretched downwards. She also received a return positive . The instrument has 31 stops on three manual works and a pedal.

Bells
On March 2nd, 2008, Archabbot Edmund Wagenhofer consecrated five new bronze bells, which were cast in the Maria Laach bell foundry and which now replace the unfavorable sounding steel bells from 1921.
graveyard
Burial law has been associated with the church since the 15th century. The cemetery was expanded in 1655, 1695 and 1743. The old part of the cemetery, south of the church, is surrounded by a wall to which the cemetery chapel, built in 1776, is attached.
In 1915, the St. Gilgen church cemetery had to be closed due to overcrowding , and a provisional forest cemetery was created near Lueg . (at today's Lueger Waldweg on the Gamswand). The generous extension to the east (seaward) of the church was built in the years 1922 to 1926. This area was still grassland in the 19th century, the actual town center extended primarily above the church around the church square , and only grew with the beginning of summer the lake. The plans come from the Salzburg architect Oskar Felgel-Farnholz , a Wagner student. This middle and lower part has arcades with inserted crypt chapels in baroque forms.
The cemetery is an independent monument .
Cemetery chapel
The baroque cemetery chapel was built in 1776. It was donated by the local Schmauß family of glassmakers. The chapel was renovated in 1962.
The small, simple church house has a mansard roof and a corresponding curved gable with a striking triangular skylight.
War memorial
The war memorial was added to the street side of the cemetery in 1924. It was made by the sculptor Heinrich Zita and shows a stele with a relief in the style of the Vienna Secession . It was expanded after 1945.
The monument is also listed .
