A sign at the chapel provides the following information:
"The fact that St. Sebastian, the "patron saint of the plague", was chosen as the patron saint of the chapel indicates that the chapel was built as a result of the plague raging at that time. In the second half of the 15th c this area was severely stricken with this pandemic.
The chapel was built in 1502 and in 1718/19 a tower was added. Before that the bells were located in the western wall above the entrance. In 1736 a baroque renovation took place and an altar made of "Sargans Marble" was added. In 1984.85 the chapel was renovated to its present form."
