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.

In my opinion, the glass casing obstructs the view of the statue and is rather irritating. The sandstone is probably just too porous, and they don't want to have to renovate it again in a few years. I think a roof without side walls, in the pavilion style, would be more advantageous.
