history
A chapel in Helfenbrunn was first mentioned in writing in 1694. According to tradition, twelve crusaders are buried in the hill under the chapel . In 1697 the parish in Palzing , to which the village belonged, commissioned the master mason from Au in der Hallertau to build the chapel from scratch.
The Sebaldi Chapel developed into a place of pilgrimage for the farmers in the vicinity in the 18th century . Numerous images of saints and votive tablets testify to the needs with which the pilgrims came to Helfenbrunn at that time.
In the turmoil of secularization and the dissolution of the Ilmmünster monastery , the chapel was to be demolished in 1803 because the building repairs could no longer be financed. The local farmers resisted this plan, so that the Sebaldi Chapel survived the church storm. It was renovated in 1861.
