Filialkirche, Roman Catholic subsidiary church in Haßfurt, Germany.
St. Leonhard is a Roman Catholic filial church in Wülflingen, part of Haßfurt in Lower Franconia. Its baroque nave, built in 1695/96 under Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollraths, has a saddle roof and a three-sided closed choir to the east. A late-Gothic choir flank tower with sacristy stands to the north, topped by an eight-sided slate-covered bent spire; the coat of arms of the builder hangs over the north portal.
A chapel owned by Langheim Abbey preceded the church. The present building was erected in 1695/96 under Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollrath, whose coat of arms hangs above the north portal. The late-Gothic tower and sacristy were retained; three new bells by Heinrich Humpert were hung in 1949.
The church belongs to the parish community of St. Kilian in Haßfurt, in the Diocese of Würzburg. Its patron is Saint Leonard, and the coat of arms of Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollraths, under whom it was built in 1695/96, is still visible above the north portal.
St. Leonhard stands in Wülflingen, a village part of Haßfurt in the Haßberge district; the church belongs to the parish community of St. Kilian in the Diocese of Würzburg. The north portal, above which the Greiffenclau coat of arms is mounted, is the side entrance to look for. The interior is small, with a nave, a recessed three-sided choir and a sacristy on the north side of the tower.
The tower and sacristy survive from a late Gothic predecessor, while the nave was rebuilt in 1695/96; the coat of arms of Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollraths above the north portal marks the patron. Three bells cast by the Heinrich Humpert foundry hang in the belfry again since 1949.
