The Catholic chapel is dedicated to the Archangel St. Michael. The entrance gate bears the year of the year of construction, namely 1718. The chapel was of great importance for the surrounding villages in earlier times. The pastor of Thulba held services there three times a year. In addition, the residents of the neighboring villages went on pilgrimages to the "Kirchle". But the Michael's Chapel is still very important today.
In 2017, the residents of Frankenbrunn worked together to restore the complex around the chapel and the hermit's house with the generous support of the market town of Oberthulba on the occasion of the 300th anniversary in 2018.

This church was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - on paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.
