Saint Johannes is an important name in connection with the Sutthausen estate. The castle chapel, which is part of the Sutthausen estate, is a remarkable building that was built by Gottfried v. Korff in the style of the Romantic architect in 1894. The chapel is known for its colorful carved altar, which is decorated with Gothic figures and reliefs and comes from the workshop of the famous master of Osnabrück around 1520. The castle chapel is a popular place for bridal couples who would like to say yes in front of the colorful altar.

The Baroque town hall, built in 1752 with its bright yellow paint, is an architectural gem in Hilter. The Baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, who was working on the monastery in Bad Iburg at the same time, likely contributed to its construction.

In 2015/2016, the Oesede Monastery Local History Society rebuilt the historically significant Stone Tower at the roundabout at the entrance to Oesede Monastery. Its history dates back to the late Middle Ages. In 1441, Count Johann von Hoya (the "Wild Jan") robbed the Osnabrück citizens of their cattle in the Fledder during a feud. The citizens rushed after him, but broke off their pursuit at nightfall at the Stone Tower. That same year, Johann von Hoya was captured during the storming of Fürstenau Castle by the city of Osnabrück and imprisoned in the Johanniskasten (Steiniger Turm) in Osnabrück's Bucksturm (Bucksturm) for six years until 1447. During another feud between Osnabrück and the robber baron Friedrich von Buck, an unsuccessful meeting took place in 1450 in the Steiniger Turm between representatives of the city of Osnabrück and the Osnabrück cathedral dean Albert von Bevessen († 1458), whose epitaph has been preserved in the ambulatory of the Osnabrück cathedral.

The Estates Fountain was created in 1981 by the Aachen sculptor Bonifatius Stirnberg and stands in front of St. John's Church, facing Johannisstraße. It consists of six bronze figures representing the estates (clergy, knights, and citizens) of the Middle Ages. The figures are placed on the rim of a triangular, rounded bronze basin. They have movable stainless steel joints at the feet, knees, hips, elbows, hands, and head, allowing them to be posed like dolls. Only the Prince-Bishop of the time sits enthroned in his own designated spot. In the center of the fountain rises a stele, from whose uppermost plate water cascades down over two further plates. From there, it flows through three spiral channels, each pointing towards a corner, into the basin. The fountain's total height is approximately 2.80 meters. ... The figures, all modeled after people in the 17th century, were constructed by Marga Sommerkamp. This era was deliberately chosen because it represents an eventful hundred years, during which significant events took place, such as the great city fire of 1613 and the conclusion of the peace negotiations ending the Thirty Years' War in 1648. https://erleben.osnabrueck.de/de/stadt-erleben/sehenswertes/staendebrunnen/
