The Protestant church in Heedfeld is a barrel-vaulted hall church from 1720 in plastered quarrystone masonry with a three-storey tower. The pulpit altar dates back to the time of construction. The parish church was added to the list of monuments on December 15, 1983.
The church is considered a testimony to the sacred architecture of past centuries and thus fulfills an important documentary function for the local area. The parish church also has urban planning significance, as it has always contributed to the distinctive appearance of the town. The holly tree (Hülsenhorste), the symbol of Hülscheid on the coat of arms, is located in the immediate vicinity of the church.
Next to the Heedfeld parish church is the Haferkasten Heedfeld:
The Heedfeld oat box is a granary dating from 1742, originating from the Bewerunge farm in Kuhlenkeppig near Heedfeld. Oat boxes were primarily used to store seed. The inscription "Diederich Grose von Haste und seine Ehehausfrau Anne Elibet von Hefeld Anno 1742 den 18. October" is carved into the high frame above the entrance door. Early example of the corner post type with intermediate upright, missing separate sill. The door is centered. Plank walls have closed off the aisle on the right and left and the center of the box. The building was restored in 1983 by the Verein für Geschichte und Heimatpflege in der Gemeinde Schalksmühle e.V. as a document of a completed form of construction and economy and erected next to the Heedfeld Protestant village church.
