history
The place where Burggrumbach is today was already settled in pre-Christian times. At times there was a place of sacrifice there. During excavations, a Celtic women's grave was discovered in the district of Burggrumbach. The village was first mentioned in a document in 822. At that time, some goods and subjects were given to the Boniface Abbey in Fulda . The village is one of the oldest in the area.
In the Middle Ages the village became the seat of the von Grumbach dynasty . The ancestral palace was built at the confluence of the Bach Erbhauses in the Pleichach . The gentlemen soon moved their headquarters to Rothenfels and adopted the name "von Rothenfels". Albert zu Rothenfels, the last male descendant of the dynasty, died out as early as 1243. His son-in-law Ludwig von Rieneck then received the property as a fief.
It was not until the 14th century that the Würzburg ministers from Wolfskeel acquired the place and the castle. They called themselves "von Grumbach " after their predecessors . Later a branch of the family moved to Rimpar. In 1567 the indebted property of the Lords of Grumbach was confiscated from the Würzburg Monastery after the lord of the castle Wilhelm von Grumbach was executed in Gotha for the murder of Bishop Melchior Zobel.
Cunz von Grumbach was to get the goods back through a pardon in 1569. However, it was not possible for him to raise the agreed amount and so the castle was sold to the Würzburg monastery in 1593 . The village changed hands in 1623 when Friedrich von Thüngen was enfeoffed with him. At the end of the 18th century, some parts of the castle were demolished and the road to Werneck was paved with stones.
A great catastrophe struck Burggrumbach in 1796. French troops withdrew after the lost battle near Würzburg and set the village on fire. Only the village church survived the fire. After the mediatization at the beginning of the 19th century, Burggrumbach came to Bavaria, in the Peace of Preßburg (1805) the area became Archduke Ferdinand III. left by Tuscany to form the Grand Duchy of Würzburg , with which it finally fell to Bavaria in 1814. In 1818 was awarded the Bavarian Gemeindeedikt the municipality established. On July 1, 1972, the previously independent community was incorporated into Unterpleichfeld .

Architectural monuments
The center of the village is the Catholic parish church of St. Martin . The nave dates from the second half of the 20th century, the choir tower was built during the Counter Reformation as the so-called Julius Echter tower . Inside, several tombstones refer to the rule of the Lords of Grumbach. The stone of Anna Maria von Grumbach, who died in 1598 at the age of five, is artistically valuable.
In the center is the former castle of the Lords of Grumbach. At times it was also used as a parsonage and tithe barn . A three-storey solid building from the 14th and 15th centuries forms the center of the complex. An extension was built in the 19th century. Several farm buildings are grouped around the residential building, and the polygonal bering has been preserved. A bridge leads to the castle gate from the 16th century.
After the destruction in 1796, only several wayside shrines and small memorials from past centuries have survived in the village and the surrounding area . The figure of Christ carrying the cross with the executioner from 1720 is particularly splendid. A processional altar from 1761 shows the scourged Christ as the crowning figure.
