This public park in Schapen is well worth seeing. Especially if you are interested in old half-timbered houses. But there is also a playground and a picnic area.

The old rectory in Schapen was built in 1739. Today it serves as a meeting place, educational center, and exhibition space. The attic houses an exhibition about the "Tödden"—itinerant merchants from the region—as well as about the Schapen coin hoard. Guided tours are available upon request (phone: +49 5458 98510; email: schapen@spelle.de).

However, the complex is well worth a visit even without a guided tour.

In addition to the former rectory, the grounds include a former brewery (now used for weddings), a blacksmith's shop built in 2012, and a bakehouse from 2020 where "Schapen Bishop's Bread" is baked.
