Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp II of Greiffenclau had the Catholic branch church of St. Michael rebuilt as a castle church in 1716. On September 27, 1717[6], Johann Bernard, auxiliary bishop of Würzburg, consecrated it to the Holy Archangel Michael.[Note 1]

The planning and execution of the well-proportioned late baroque church building goes back to the Würzburg court architect Joseph Greissing. It is an east-facing hall building measuring around 23 by 10 meters with a sloping choir and a western single-tower facade with sandstone structures. The three-story, approximately 28 meter high facade tower with its elegant eight-sided dome and crowning lantern towers impressively over the manor district and village.

Inside, the four-columned main altar with round gable pieces as a crown shows the Trinity symbol. Below is the donor's coat of arms, Prince-Bishop Greiffenclaus. The Assumption of Mary is depicted on the central altarpiece. The two side altars on the slanted corners of the nave are each set in cones stuccoed with shells and also have the Greiffenclau coat of arms. The side altars themselves also have conches with shell decoration, but are flanked by columns. They form the frame for mounted and partly gilded wooden figures that represent St. James the Elder and probably St. Gangolf (?). The workshop of the Würzburg court sculptor Jacob van der Auwera is responsible for the high-quality altar furnishings, analogous to the nearby castle church in Gereuth, which was built almost at the same time by the same donor and the same architect.

Former manor

In 1576, Hans Fuchs zu Gleisenau acquired the former manor. On June 8, 1709, the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollraths bought the Albersdorf manor as a "relay station" between Würzburg and his private property in Gereuth. Between 1714 and 1716, the existing buildings were demolished and the main building and farm building including the church were rebuilt. In 1815, ownership passed to the Jewish banking family Jakob von Hirsch. In 1859, the brothers Adrian and Karl Prieger bought its Franconian property from the Hirsch bank. The new owner became the factory owner August Bauer from Selbitz in 1917. A year later, the wood dealer Johann Georg Bäuerle from Ölsnitz acquired the property. The city of Leipzig bought the estate in 1920, which it then sold in 1930 to the Geiger family, who came from the Leipzig area. The then still independent municipality of Albersdorf bought the former manor in 1950 in order to divide it. The property has been largely privately owned since 1952.
