        Early Christian Romanesque church that provides evidence of Christianization in the Steigerwald. A stone relief shows John the Baptist. The same relief can be found in Münsterschwarzach Abbey, which provides evidence that the church in Großbirkach was a baptismal church for the monks of Münsterschwarzach.
