Wildenfels Castle, daughter castle of Wildenstein in the Altmühltal, was built between 1317 and 1323. The builder of the castle, Dietrich III. von Wildenstein, is mentioned in 1313 and has been called Dietrich Wildensteiner von Wildenfels after his castle since 1323.
The castle has been in ruins since 1553 (2nd Margrave War), and the seat of the nursing office was moved to Hiltpoltstein in 1610/14.
