| INFORMATION ON THE VILLAGE OF "ST. WOLFGANG" |
|
The resort of St. Wolfgang
takes its name from its founder – Wolfgang, bishop of Regensburg. In
the year 976 Wolfgang left the turnmoil of his homeland and sought peace in the abbey of Mondsee and on the inaccessible shores of the Abersee (former name of the Wolfgangsee). He spent years as a hermit in the area of the Falkenstein and following legends about his piety and miraculous deeds he was eventually canonized and became Saint Wolfgang. Soon pilgrims started to flock to St. Wolfgang. During the Great Fire of 1429 the village burned down and the original Romanesque church was badly damaged. In 1430 Emperor Sigismund granted St. Wolfgang market rights and shortly afterwards construction of the present Gothic hall church began. The famous Michael Pacher altar was installed. The religious Reformation brought a decline in the number of pilgrims – but then in the middle of the last century the number of visitors rose again when Emperor Franz Joseph and the imperial court took up summer residence in Bad Ischl. After the Second World War the success of the operetta "The White Horse Inn" (by Ralph Benatzky) made St. Wolfgang a popular place for tourists.  |
