Seven years later, on the site of Werdnau'schen Castle, the Pfründespital Waltenhausen was built, which was demolished in 1824 with the exception of the former Zehentstadel ( Lindenstrasse 8 ; → see also: List of architectural monuments in Waltenhausen ).

Only the tower still comes from the previous building from the 15th century. Most of the furnishings in the church date from the time the new construction was carried out by craftsmen from the region.
