Pfarrkirche, Catholic parish church in Volkach, Germany

St. Bartholomäus und St. Georg is a hall church with a polygonal choir and a 45-metre tower north of the choir. The tower's square base dates to 1517, topped in 1597 by an octagonal storey with four clocks and a round stair turret. The choir's buttresses have leaf-carved consoles and empty canopies for figures never made.

A church dedicated to St. George is documented from the 12th century; the parish church itself stood on the nearby Kirchberg. In 1413 a new building began with the choir, consecrated to Bartholomew and George, and the nave was renewed from 1472 to 1517/18. The tower received its octagonal top in 1597, and the interior was remodelled in Baroque style from 1727.

The church serves as a gathering place for local religious celebrations and community events in Volkach. Residents and visitors use it for weddings, baptisms, and other important life ceremonies.

You can enter the building during regular opening hours, with informational displays and occasional guided tours available. Visitors should treat it respectfully as an active place of worship and wear appropriate clothing.

The tower was planned at the highest point of the town so it could also serve as a watchtower; its octagonal upper storey with four clocks and a round stair turret dates to 1597 and once housed the tower keeper.
