The Catholic parish church of St. Kunibertus is a listed church building in Hünsborn , a district of the municipality of Wenden in the Olpe district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The church was built and expanded in several stages from 1920 to 1955 on the place where a chapel had stood for centuries. It is a uniform baroque sacred building. The gable roof is slated, the outer walls lightly plastered. The sphere of the great tower with a lantern and the onion dome of the western ridge turret are clad with copper sheets. Most of the furnishings date from the 1940s and 1950s. A remarkable triumphal cross from the second quarter of the 16th century belongs to it . Among the baroque figures is a Vespers from the last third of the 18th century.
