The late Gothic parish church of St. Oswald in Baunach is one of the oldest church buildings in the Bamberg district, as is the patronal feast of St. Oswald, which is one of the oldest in all of Germany. The particularly worth seeing pieces of equipment include the Holy Sepulcher, the baroque high altar and a modern altarpiece.

St. Oswald is the name of the Roman Catholic parish and the city parish church in Baunach. Based on the Fulda document, it can be proven that a church building existed in Baunach as early as 815, presumably built under the Fulda abbot Ratgar (802–817). The church is said to have been consecrated in 823 by the Würzburg bishop Wolfgar (809/10–831/32). It is under the patronage of St. Oswald (604–642). It is one of the oldest patronages in Germany.
