Saint Wolfgang erected the first church at the shore of the Wolfgangsee after he withdrew to the nearby Mondsee Abbey in 976.
After Wolfgang'scanonization in 1052, the church became a major pilgrimage site, as it was first mentioned in an 1183 deed by Pope Lucius III.
The Wikipaedia description is St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut is a market town in central Austria, on the northern shore of the Wolfgangsee lake. If "market" is shorthand for every known tourist junk shop then it is indeed a market town.
