      The Roman Catholic Church of St. Kilian is the baroque village church of Oberelsbach. After a previous church building from 1601 was destroyed by lightning in 1760, the St. Kilian Church was built between 1765 and 1784 under Johann Michael and Georg Schmitt from Königshofen.
      The high altar made by Christian Lux from Bad Neustadt an der Saale was taken over from the previous church. The two side altars made by sculptor Kaspar Hippeli (Nordheim) and carpenter Hans Valentin Katzenberger (Oberelsbach) were made in 1775. The church's baptismal font with an octagonal basin was purchased in 1672. The gallery parapet was made around 1770, the classicist pulpit with a bulbous body around 1780. The altarpiece of the high altar shows the Franconian saints Kilian, Kolonat and Totnan. The side altars are decorated with figures of Saint Joachim, Anne, George and Florian. (Wikipedia)
