St. Gilgen is a village by Lake Wolfgang in the Austrian state of Salzburg, in the Salzkammergut region. Named after Saint Giles, St. Gilgen was first mentioned in documents in 1376. In 1863, shipping on Lake Wolfgang started and brought attention to the little village. The construction of the Salzkammergut-Lokalbahn in 1893 led to another increase in tourism. Rich Viennese, such as the surgeon Theodor Billroth, started to build summer residences there.
