Built in 1595 at the behest of Stephan Zobel von Giebelstadt and his wife Kordula Echter. Renaissance style, single-nave church with a striking, slate-gray west tower. The church is dedicated to Saint Burkhard, an early bishop and missionary, considered the first bishop of Würzburg.

The parish church of St. Mary's Assumption impresses with its bright, spacious interior, even though it is smaller than its predecessor, the Auber Minster. The chancel, with its magnificent Baroque high altar, survived the damage of the Second World War unscathed. An exceptional highlight is the Crucifixion group by Tilman Riemenschneider from 1510. It is located on the left side as you enter from the main entrance. It is worth turning on the lighting.
