Worth seeing

The Evangelical Church Scheidt goes back to a village chapel, which was built around the year 1350. In the Thirty Years' War it was badly damaged and replaced by a baroque building in 1737 , whereby the Romanesque choir was retained. In 1870 the choir was torn down and a 25 meter high tower was built in the neo-Romanesque style. In 1957 the church was expanded to include an extension on the entrance side. The bells are from 1949 and 1958.

The Catholic parish church of St. Ursula , consecrated in 1935, is one of the buildings worth seeing in Scheidt . The simple and cubic-looking sacred building with its clear design language was built according to plans by the architect Jacob Quirin. Inside, in the chancel , it houses Secco paintings by the important Belgian graphic artist , draftsman and painter Frans Masereel from 1948.
