The Kilian Church is a Catholic church in Bad Frederick Hall Hagenbach in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg .

The church was built in 1753 as a replacement for the cemetery chapel, which had become too small, with the support of the Teutonic Order Commander Johann Christoph von Buseck as a baroque church with a turret . The parish acquired the land for the church through a land swap. The builder of the church was Franz Häffele . The inhabitants of Hagenbach were called in to do homework and haulage in the construction of the church. The church was damaged in the Second World War and then restored, but it was quickly found to be too small, so that in 1958/59 the church building was extended to the west by a larger, 26 × 15 meter nave and the 33 meter high tower. The nave and choir of the baroque church now form the eastern half (i.e. choir and sacristy ) of the church building.
