The white St. Lucas Church is located in the middle of Scheeßel, near the town hall. The church used to be surrounded by a cemetery, but today it is surrounded by trees. Around the year 770, during the time of Charlemagne, the first missionaries came to Scheeßel and built a chapel. The first mention of a church was found in records from around the 12th century. This was destroyed and rebuilt in the course of wars. After the Thirty Years' War, the population grew so that the old, dilapidated church became too small. The pastor from the Baroque period, Provost Adolph Johann von Finckh, then had the foundation stone of today's St. Lucas Church laid in 1755. The church was ceremoniously inaugurated on Michaelmas Day 1758. The oil painting of it still hangs to the right of the altar today. The single-nave church, which is rather plain on the outside, is magnificent on the inside, designed in the typical style of the "North German Baroque". Today, the church can accommodate around 1,000 people. The church stands for quiet contemplation, security, peace, but also for the community of the parish, which is one of the largest church districts in Rotenburg. On the church forecourt there is a 600-year-old linden tree, a natural monument, which, together with a replica of a "pillory post", marks a former court place where people were pilloried. https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/st-lucas-kirche-scheessel-100050988/

The train station in Scheeßel looks like it's out of time. Small details still show how much effort went into building the station buildings in the past. Now the ravages of time are taking their toll on this stately building.

The local history museum was painstakingly put together from various old buildings in the region. As a result, many buildings actually consist of different parts of houses that were previously very dilapidated and were thus saved. They also sometimes changed their function, so that in the end the site offers an atmospheric overall picture of a complete courtyard. The site is open all year round and can be explored. The interiors are tied to the opening times of the local history museum.

After a previous Romanesque building was demolished in 1755, the foundation stone for today's church building was laid in the same year. From 1755 to 1758, St. Lucas Church was built from field stones and plastered white.
