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.
