The Stellichte estate has belonged to the von Behr family since 1479. Dietrich von Behr the Younger (1575–1632), Privy Councillor of the Lüneburg Duke Christian the Elder and Grand Bailiff of Celle, had the estate chapel built on the existing chapel in 1608–1610 as a burial place for his wife Elise Magdalene, née von Bothmer, who died young in 1607. The Celle castle chapel, built at the end of the 15th century, served as his model. Carl Wolff wrote in 1902:

A beautiful church with a bench in front of it invites to a rest under the chestnut. Right next to it a toilet house that was highly praised by my companions during the hike.
