Sankt Aegyd am Neuwalde is situated at an elevation of 588 m in the valley of the river Traisen (Untrecht-Traisen) and is a popular summer and winter resort. St. Aegyd received the status of a market town in 1444.
The parish church Sankt ägidius [centre] was built in Gothic style in the 14th century in place of an older church of 1254/71,
and was later remodelled in Baroque style. The painting on the high altar was painted by the famous Martin Johann Schmidt (called Kremser Schmidt).
