history
A small chapel stood in the center of the village as early as 1720 . The common parish church of St. Michael for the villages of Burghausen and Reichenbach was located on the 401 m high Michelsberg. After this church was destroyed by lightning in 1806, the two villages initially continued to use the walled cemetery on the mountain. In 1830, cemeteries were created in Burghausen and Reichenbach.
The present church in Burghausen was built in 1875.

The nave has three window axes . To the east of the choir with three windows is the sacristy and a Marian grotto. The furnishings are also neo-Gothic. At the high altar , the figure of St. Michael is flanked by St. Peter and St. Paul . The three choir windows are blue. Saint Wendelin can be seen on the right side altar and Saint Mary on the left . In the middle of the western nave wall there is a gilded figure of St. Mary, opposite a figure of St. Michael. To the left of the main entrance is a neo-Gothic confessional. The one-manual organ on the southern gallery (nine registers) was built in 1890 by Martin Schlimbach from Würzburg for the local hospital church.
