history
According to an inscription on the church building, the St. Trinity Church in Aschach was built in 1447. It is uncertain whether there was a church in Aschach before, but the work of a pastor in the village is possible. Aschach originally belonged to the original parish of Brend . When it became an independent parish is also unknown. In 1608 the church tower was raised and in 1616 the nave was vaulted.
The first evidence for the Trinity - patron saint dates back to 1669. During the renovation of 1732/33 took Jörg Köhler Muennerstadt the altar and restored the side altars. In 1766 the cracked bell from 1732 was replaced. Further bells were added in 1837 (with a bell from the Krick workshop in Eckweisbach ) as well as in 1894 and 1895 (each with a bell from the Hahn foundry in Landshut ). The church clock and pulpit were built in 1733 . As part of further renovations, the church received new altars in 1790 and 1876. In 1889 a statue of Our Lady designed by Balthasar Schmitt was donated. Five years later Schmitt created the fresco The Holy Family , which has since been whitewashed due to its poor state of preservation. Likewise, as part of a church renovation in 1923, numerous pictures on the walls of the parish church had to be scraped off.

In 1922, Balthasar Schmitt erected a Madonna statue in front of the entrance to the church in memory of the victims of the First World War on behalf of the Aschach Warriors and Soldiers . During the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the comradeship on August 24th and 25th, 1963, next to Schmitt's Madonna, a memorial designed by the Aschach sculptor Ludwig Bauer for the victims of the Second World War was unveiled; both monuments were merged into one unit according to the plans of the comradeship.
The only effect of the Second World War on the church building was the delivery of the three bells. They were replaced by four new bells in 1949.
In 1959 the altars were repaired. After plans to expand the sacristy had already been made in 1937 , the previous sacristy was replaced by a more spacious one in August and September 1964. In the 1970s, the church was redesigned according to the specifications of the Second Vatican Council . In this sense was high altar a Crucifixion supplemented and in place of the side altars of St. Sebastian (left) and St. Mary's set (right) today altars. In 1971, the Münnerstadt company Heinrich Hochrein carried out repairs on the organ .
In 1989, the legal department of the Episcopal Ordinariate in Würzburg began to examine the building load ratio for the purpose of preparing a renovation. On the basis of a determination by the Royal Rent Office in Kissingen (the forerunner of today's tax office) on October 22, 1841, Aschach had to bear two thirds and Großenbrach one third of the renovation costs on the outside of the church building, whereby this obligation after the incorporation through the municipal area reform on the market Bad Bocklet has passed over. The Aschach Catholic Parish Church Foundation had to pay for renovation work inside the church. During the renovation carried out in 1990, the crucifixion group that had been on the high altar was moved over the south portal and the high altar was given its current shape.
In March 1995 a radio clock was installed in the church.
