Gallenkirch is a former municipality in the district of Brugg in canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

During the Middle Ages, Gallenkirch was part of the district of Hornussen under the city of Bad Säckingen.

In the 19th and 20th century, several attempts to merge Gallenkirch into the village of Linn failed.

However, since 1917, children attend the local school in Linn, and other infrastructure problems are solved through inter-municipal cooperation.

[3] The former municipality is located in the Brugg district, west of the mountain pass through which the modern Bözbergstrasse runs.

Gallenkirch is 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) from downtown Brugg, the district seat.

[4] The trunk of wood is from Saint Gall, who according to legend carried a wooden staff, while the cross is for the Gallus Chapel, from which the village derives its name.

[8] The age distribution, as of 2008[update], in Gallenkirch is; 10 children or 7.0% of the population are between 0 and 9 years old and 20 teenagers or 14.1% are between 10 and 19.

[10] About 64% of the total households were owner occupied, or in other words did not pay rent (though they may have a mortgage or a rent-to-own agreement).

[8] From the 2000 census[update], 33 or 27.3% were Roman Catholic, while 67 or 55.4% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church.
