Table of Contents
Church of St. Nicholas
The Parish Church of St. Nicholas is a Catholic church building in the town of Scheer in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Address: Schloßsteige 14, 72516 Scheer
Loretokapelle
The Loreto Chapel in Scheer in the district of Sigmaringen, like many European Loreto chapels, serves the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in imitation of the Loreto pilgrimage site in Italy.
The chapel is located in the north of Scheer, shortly after the turnoff in the direction of Bingen-Hitzkofen.
Address: 3 Binger Straße, Scheer
St. Anna Kapelle
The St. Anna Chapel, the so-called "Käppele" on the Mengener Straße near the entrance to the Rote Steig, owes its origin to the devotion to St. Anna, the mother of Mary, which was attested early in Scheer.
It is possible that the altar consecrated in the parish church in 1412 was the altar of St. Anne mentioned in 1513, on which the chaplaincy of St. Anne was founded in 1518. The St. Anna chapel seems to have been built after a relic of St. Anna was brought to Scheer in 1605.
The cube-shaped building with surrounding cornice, gable roof and wrought-iron Biedermeier cross, has an open round arch in the north. In the cross-vaulted interior there is a life-size wooden image of Our Lady with the Child on her left hand.
Since the chapel is also called "′s Forstmeisters Käppele", it can be assumed that it received special support from the lordly forester Sättele, who in 1725 allocated money for annual days to the church factory, especially since the unification of the St. Anna Benefice with the Frühmeß Chaplaincy took place in the same year. In 1998 the chapel was taken over by the Georgipflege.
The last gospel is read here during the processions.
The last chapel renovation took place in 1986.
St. Leonhards Kapelle
St. Leonard's Chapel in Scheer in the district of Sigmaringen stands below the Loreto Chapel at the turnoff on the road to Hitzkofen.
