St. Blasius

St. Blasius stands in Zeubelried, a district of Ochsenfurt, as a Catholic branch church dedicated to Saint Blasius. Its hall church has a recessed choir and a choir tower. A pointed spire rises above the tower, while a wooden figure marks the north portal. The eighteenth-century nave reflects later alterations to the medieval building. The church’s origins reach the late thirteenth century, and its main structure dates from the mid-fourteenth century. Wartime damage reshaped the church and led to its postwar reconstruction. The rebuilt interior includes a stucco-marble high altar from 1737, originally made for St Gallus in Frickenhausen am Main. A pulpit from 1598 carries the coat of arms of Neidhard von Thüngen. The side altars and main altar belong to later renovation work, while the organ came from Steinmeyer in Oettingen.

The tower carries bells cast by the Otto foundry in Bremen-Hemelingen. Nearby, the Ölbergkapelle contains early fifteenth-century wooden sculptures. A war memorial, wayside shrines, and a house showing the Holy Family complete the immediate setting. The Zeubelried Moor nature reserve lies nearby. St. Blasius serves Zeubelried and belongs to the parish community Emmaus Erlach Frickenhausen Kaltensondheim Zeubelried.
