The origins of the Johanneskirche Bürglein date back to the 13th century. During the Baroque period, it was renewed in the style of the Margrave: pulpit altar, organ and baptismal font form a unity and concentration on word and sacrament. The Baroque interior looks harmonious and friendly. Visitors usually feel immediately a pleasant atmosphere.

In addition to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John in plain Margrave style, the rectory of 1751 is worth seeing as a monument. Above the portal a round arch with relief is attached. The Peace Oak of 1887 on the outskirts and the Burgstall on the vineyard tell from the long history of the place. Bürglein was first mentioned in a document in May 1108 and is therefore older than Heilsbronn and Bonnhof.
