St Gilgen is a town by the Wolfgangsee in the Austrian state of Salzburg, in a region known as the Salzkammergut. It has 3,382 inhabitants, and lies 545 metres above sea level; it covers an area of 98.67 square kilometres.
St Gilgen is a well-known travel destination. Boats from St. Gilgen sail around the Wolfgangsee, providing transport and views of the surrounding mountains. The hermitage of the original St Gilgen may be seen, behind a chapel, in the Falkenstein cliffs west of St. Wolfgang and east of Fürberg.
In 2005 St Gilgen is being promoted as the "Mozart Village" by the Wolfgangsee Tourist Board. Although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart never visited St Gilgen (as he had intended to do), his grandfather worked in the town, his mother was born in St Gilgen, and his sister moved there after her marriage.
