When the settlers' villages were laid out, space was allocated for public buildings and churches, but construction was of secondary importance at this time. The construction of churches was only permitted under extreme austerity. Therefore, they were often only towerless prayer rooms with spartan furnishings. Wuschewier is certainly the most impressive example of simplicity, austerity, and multifunctionality. The building combined a prayer room, schoolroom, teacher's quarters, and shepherd's quarters under one roof and was in no way different from the surrounding residential buildings. The only striking feature is the eaves.

The Wuschewier School and Prayer House, built in 1764, is a simple, multifunctional half-timbered building that combined a prayer hall, classroom, and teacher's apartment. Its exterior is barely distinguishable from the surrounding residential buildings. After extensive renovations with funding, including from the Hermann Reemtsma Foundation, the listed building was ceremoniously rededicated in 1997 and has also housed a restored organ since 1998.

The Wuschewier School and Prayer House Association (Förderverein Schul- und Bethaus Wuschewier e.V.) is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of the listed building. Guided tours are available upon request: bethaus-wuschewier.de/#intro.
