Very beautiful historical buildings and the church stretch along the street through the center of Shell. It's worth a visit.

In this small town there is a surprisingly large number of historical well-preserved buildings in the center. The little detour is definitely worth it.

Schale (formerly: Scaldi) was already settled in prehistoric times, as evidenced by several burial mounds and urn finds. In the 9th century, the priest Castus first mentions a donation of abbey-free farms in Schale to Werden Abbey. The Werden Monastery's tax register from 890 names five individuals who had to pay taxes. According to further evidence from 1150, the Werden Oberhof in Schapen also received taxes.
