St. Michael (Düllstadt)
The Church of St. Michael in Düllstadt is the Catholic branch church of the Schwarzach district in the Kitzingen district. It is located on Bamberger Straße in the middle of the village and is part of the Kitzingen dean's office .
history
After the Thirty Years War , Düllstadt was desolate because it had been looted in 1631. Only in the second half of the 17th century people settled in the village again. The lord of the village, the abbot of Münsterschwarzach , promoted the resettlement with the planning of a small church, which should form the new center of the place. The church was built at the behest of Abbot Plazidus I. Büchs , and the consecration took place on September 29, 1688.
The church was changed in the 18th century, a sacristy was added in 1744 and a semicircular stair tower was built on the western nave wall in 1780. In 1905 the sacristy was enlarged. Several renovations followed. The inside of the church was renovated in 1953 and 1977, the outside in 1976 and 1988. The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation classifies the church as a historical building . Previous buildings in the underground are listed as ground monuments.

Furnishing
When the building was consecrated, the high altar with a two-column structure from the 17th century was in the choir. The pillars are tangled.
