The Church of St. Sebastian, also known as the Church on the Rock (situated on a solid block of granite) was originally built in 1630 in honour of both St. Sebastian und St. Rochus. These are the saints of all those afflicted by disease. This dedication was made in hope of averting the fast - approaching plague.
