Tips from the Community
It is not entirely in vain that Schloss Werneck is also referred to as "Franconian Versailles". This generous, magnificent complex with the park, also designed in Baroque style at the time, was one of the two summer residences of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg (alongside Veitshöchheim) until 1802.

In front of the cemetery entrance gate stands this processional altar made of sandstone, according to the inscription from the year 1720. On a table base with an inscription cartouche stands a canopy supported by columns, the back wall of which is adorned with a relief of the Coronation of Mary. On the roof of the canopy stands a figure of Jesus with a crown of thorns, a so-called Ecce Homo representation, after the exclamation of Pontius Pilate, who presented the prisoner Jesus of Nazareth to the Jewish people: "Behold, the man", in Latin "Ecce Homo".

This sandstone processional altar was donated in 1845 by a married couple from Eßleben (the name on the stone is unfortunately no longer legible). The relief shows the Holy Family.

This year, the history of the parish "St. Georg" in Eßleben, which was first mentioned in a document in 1286, reaches exactly 740 years into the past. Various church buildings have housed the faithful over the centuries, and the present-day St. Georg church was consecrated in 1810. The hall church is oriented in an east-west direction; at its eastern end rises the slender facade tower with its Welsch-style cupola, covered with black slate, and the large dial of the tower clock. The interior of the church, designed in a rather modern style, is bright and simple.
