To the north is the Traisenberg ( 1230 m above sea level ) of the Türnitz Alps , in the far northeast the mountains belong to the Gutenstein Alps . In addition, an orographic exclave behind Göller ( 1766 m above sea level ) and Gippel ( 1669 m above sea level ) belongs to it, the rulership grounds with the eponymous Neuwald. Here - contrary to local custom - the municipal boundaries, and thus also the Lower Austrian-Styrian border, run in the valleys, so that the road along the Göller-Südwestfußes to the Lahnsattel belongs to the municipality.

history
There are traces from the time of the Celts and later the Slavs .
In Roman times , the area was part of the Noricum province .
The church was built in the High Middle Ages 1254–1271 and had been an independent parish since 1325. St. Aegyd am Neuwalde was granted market rights in 1444.
The reasons for rule were an old princely hunting ban , one of the largest Dominical holdings in Austria at the time, and the Hochreith hunting lodge (today the municipality of Rohr ) also belongs to the surrounding area. This is also where the municipality's office names come from, which refer to old forest districts, and the sometimes unusual course of the administrative boundaries in the municipality.
The place experienced an upswing in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the early modern small iron industry began to industrialize. At that time, many foreign skilled workers came to the upper Traisental. Forestry also needed workers, especially when Georg Huebmer , the "Rax King", began to clear the forests on the Gscheidl around 1800 . A closed group of Protestants from the Salzkammergut came to St. Aegyd. Huebmer settled them on the Lahnsattel and Ulreichsberg . Therefore, the proportion of Protestants is 12.4%, still today above the Austrian average. In the years 1810 to 1820 the cast steel and wire rope works were established , from 1869 St. Egydi iron and steel industry company. The plant was converted into an engine plant in 1918. There was also a significant production of steel files under the brand “St. Aegyd ”, the file factory in Furthof (Hohenberg municipality) , which was shut down in 1982. From November 2, 1944 to April 1, 1945, the St. Aegyd am Neuwalde subcamp existed , a subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp . Up to 300 prisoners were used here as forced laborers for the construction of the camp, car engine production and road construction. This is also where the Waffen-SS's automotive engineering school was located. Today St. Aegyd is the location for innovative technology.
The railway line from Traisen was built as early as 1878 . After the ÖBB ceased operations as far as Kernhof in 1988, the Traisental communities successfully took over operations themselves.
From the late 20th century onwards, St. Aegyd is a quiet tourist community that has benefited from the unbroken popularity of pilgrimages to Mariazell since the High Middle Ages .

According to the results of the 2001 census, there were 2,344 inhabitants. In 1991 the market town had 2,518 inhabitants, in 1981 2,887 and in 1971 3,188 inhabitants.

History of the market place
The place that arose around the Catholic Church (built 1254–1271) became a parish seat in the High Middle Ages in 1325, and in 1444 received market rights. The market town had around 20 houses in the early modern era, the whole of today's town around 70. The development of the town then continued with the establishment of the Fischer'schen Walz- und Drahtwerkes and the Miller'schen Gusswerk (Hackenschmiede) from the 1810s and the construction of the Traisentalbahn as a branch line of the Leobersdorfer Bahn in the 1870s. Around 1900 the place comprised 50 houses, the village 100. At this time the place also became a Protestant parish seat .
