The Heedfeld oat box is a granary from 1742, which originally came from the Bewerunge farm in Kuhlenkeppig near Heedfeld. At the time, oat boxes were primarily used to store seed.
The following inscription can still be found above the entrance door: "Diederich Grose von Haste and his wife Anne Elibet von Hefeld Anno 1742 den 18. October". The Haferkasten in Heedfeld is considered an early example of the so-called corner post type with an intermediate upright and a missing separate sill. The door is positioned in the middle and the plank walls close off the aisle on the right and left as well as the middle of the box.
The building was restored in 1983 by the Verein für Geschichte und Heimatpflege in der Gemeinde Schalksmühle e.V. and erected next to the Heedfeld Protestant village church.
