St. Sebastian Chapel was built in 1637 on the site of the cemetery for victims of the plague, and consecrated by Prince-Bishop Veit Adam von Gepeckh on July 31, 1637. The plague cemetery was used as a community cemetery after 1775 until it closed in 1914.
In 1925 the war memorial was erected on the northern edge of the old cemetery, now a pretty park with a stone fountain behind the chapel. The stone figure represents St. Sebastian. It was created by the sculptor G. Neuner after the drawings of Joseph Wackerle.
