Numerous residents of Langscheid belong to the Catholic parish with its patron saint, Saint Antonius Einsiedler . The old Langscheid chapel was first mentioned in 1637. At that time the pastor of the Enkhausen parish read mass here.

In 1926 the construction of the Sorpedamm began, on the construction site of which over 2000 workers were temporarily employed. Due to the resulting population growth, the chapel was initially expanded in 1927 and then in 1932 the construction of a larger church began, which was consecrated the following year and since then has housed the remarkable Langscheid Altar from the mid-18th century. The chapel has been renovated several times since then and is used as a community hall.
