The name “Wildenburg” not only describes the castle complex itself, but also the small town surrounding it. The village also has a church, which is dedicated to Saint JOHANN BAPTIST (i.e. John the Baptist). Like Saint Joseph, he is a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven.

The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Baptist) in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.

"Today part of the Wildenburg serves as a church and the ProWildenburg eG cooperative, which is a joint venture between the city of Grevenbroich and the parish of St. Johann Baptist Wildenburg, runs a meeting, educational and recreational center there..."

The altars and pulpit in the church were built by the monks from Seinfeld Monastery in the 18th century. The Johannesturm is 18 m high and is easy to see when you look at the Wildenburg.
