history
Bischhausen was first mentioned in 1160 as Biscopehusen . The place was the residence of Wernher I von Bischofshausen, the founder of the von Löwenstein family . It is not without controversy that there should once have been a moated castle in the village; the former mansion may only have been within the formerly fortified churchyard.
On December 31, 1971, the previously independent community of Bischhausen was incorporated into the new community of Neuental.
church
The eastern half of the church, closed from the octagon, dates back to the late Gothic construction period of the house, but concrete traces of construction from this time can only be seen on the base and eaves . The western half of the church was added in 1742. On the north east apse side is a circular stair tower connects with bell-shaped roof that once Gothic windows on the eastern side of the apse have been modernized, of the former church vaults on the eastern side is no longer available. Traces of the Gothic can also be found in the interior of the church. On the south-western side of the apse there is a stone carving in the style of the early Renaissance with Gothic decorations. In the main field of the stone there is a relief with the Savior and a knight in full armor, while a woman with three children kneels at the feet and prays.
Swallow mill
At the eastern end of the village, where the road to Zimmerrode crosses the Schwalm, the river is dammed by a weir that supplies the former Schwalmmühle, now used as a hydroelectric power station, with water.
