In 1323 Frankenhof was mentioned for the first time in the Salbuch of the Kastl monastery. The Kastl monastery had the right of patronage over the parish of Illschwang and the church in Frankenhof was "mentioned as belonging to Kastl" in this context. The Church of St. Margareta is one of the simultaneous churches on the cycle path of the same name.

The Frankenhofer church was dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers and was a much-visited place of pilgrimage before the Reformation. From 1733 to 1735 the church was rebuilt and received a baroque interior with a pulpit, altar and an "organ decorated with tendrils". The simultaneous church with the name St. Margareta, consecrated on April 5, 1739, was extensively renovated from 1990 to 1994.
