History and description
The Sebastian Chapel is the successor to a chapel that was mentioned as early as 1575 and was the patronage of John the Baptist. Today's chapel is dedicated to St. Sebastian and was built in 1766 by master bricklayer Pontian Hübner and master carpenter Bartholomäus Schnitzler as a hall with a retracted, semicircular closed choir and western roof turret. The crack is said to have come from Bernhard Nigg. In addition to a partial assumption of costs by the St. Stefan monastery in Augsburg , the residents of Batzenhofen, Rettenbergen and Holzhausen performed labor services and sums of money.
The interior frescoes were created in 1877 by A. Bourier. In 1972 a renovation took place.
