St. Stephan

St. Stephan is a Roman Catholic parish church in Birnbaum, a small settlement within the market town of Steinwiesen in the Kronach district of Upper Franconia. The church's core dates to the 15th century, making it one of the older sacred buildings in the Frankenwald region. Listed as a Bavarian architectural monument, it belongs to the pastoral area of Frankenwald within the Archdiocese of Bamberg. It offers a quiet example of rural Franconian religious heritage in a corner of Germany rarely visited by tourists.
