Culture and sights

The St. Burkard Church in Pusselsheim

Architectural monuments

The center of the village is the Catholic parish church. It is consecrated to the Würzburg bishop and saint Burkard and was built between 1775 and 1778 by the Würzburg master usurer. The west side is dominated by the tower with its constricted dome, which was incorporated into the Rococo facade. Several figures of saints characterize this side, for example figures of the Madonna, the church patron and St. Wendelin were placed here.

The oldest element of the furnishings is the font , which was created in 1597. The remaining elements came into the church when it was built at the end of the 18th century. The four-pillar high altar contains a picture of the Transfiguration of Burkardus and is flanked by two figures of Kilian and the same Burkard. The side altars were decorated with pictures of Wendelin and Our Lady. The pulpit and confessional are also Rococo.

In addition to the former rectory , a building from the early 19th century, many wayside shrines and small memorials have been preserved in Pusselsheim . Particularly noteworthy is the Mount of Olives group next to the church. It was donated by Anna Klühspies in 1862 and executed by M. Hauck. The village's oldest wayside shrine is a work from 1623 depicting the crucifixion. Typical Franconian pedestrian gates can also be found.

The farmer was thanked with a large land donation. He became the first settler at Gründleinsloch.
