The wall around the church was probably built after 1526.
It was built with the stones of the castle ruins.
The castle was not destroyed in the city war of 1381 because it was no longer inhabited and was the property of the Bishop of Würzburg.
The previous owners were the Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck.
Their family died out in 1390.
The rights came to Ansbach via the female offspring.
Rothenburg bought all rights to the village from Ansbach by contract in 1525.

Originally a Romanesque church, 1682 (still Gothic) and remodeled in 1717 as late Baroque.
The church was last renovated and rebuilt in 1961-1963.
When the church was being renovated, the foundation wall of a small church was found to the east of the church tower.
The little church was probably built in the 9th or 10th century.
The wall around the church came only in the 16th century.

In 999, a Rothenburg count dedicated the Wildentierbach parish to the Haug (hill) monastery in Würzburg.
Heinrich Graf von Rothenburg was elected and confirmed in 995 as the 17th bishop and prince of Würzburg. Built the church of St. Stephen and also the famous Haug Abbey (church) in Würzburg from his fortune. He died in 1018.
The Würzburg foundations served to finance churches.
The parish later went to the Neumünster monastery in Würzburg.
I.e. Wildentierbach already had its own parish in the 11th century.
