The Magdalen chapel goes back to a foundation of the Überkum. According to legend, he was a wagoner, and it is more likely that he was a member of a ministerial family. In the religious high spirits of his time, he founded this chapel, in which he also wanted to be buried. According to legend, his two blind horses should determine the place for the burial site. However, the construction workers considered the location given by the horses when the funeral procession to be unsuitable and began to build a chapel a little further down. It was only when their day's work had been relocated to the named place several times at night that they gave up their plans and built the chapel in the place the horses had specified. A legend in the entrance area of the chapel shows.

The Magdalen chapel in Baunach (15th century) is located on Kapellenberg, a hill away from the town center at the cemetery. It is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher of St. James the Pilgrim and patron saint of Baunach Victor Überkum († around 1440) and was a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

The Franconian Way of St. James also passes here and you can get a stamp for your pilgrim pass.
