The Hubertus Chapel dates from the 15th century. The remains of late Gothic wall paintings, which were discovered during restoration work in 1954, are significant. Also worth mentioning are the signs that St. James pilgrims left in the Hubertus Chapel on their way to Santiago de Compostela. St. Hubert is venerated as the patron saint of hunters and as a protector of cattle against rabies. Bread was consecrated on St. Likewise, heated Hubertus stamps were pressed on the animals in the fire in order to ward off rabies.

The chapel dedicated to St. Hubertus is a protected cultural monument and unfortunately seldom open. Located directly on the Way of St. James "Via Coloniensis"

Saint Hubert, to whom the chapel in Arloff is dedicated, lived from 655 to 727 and is a very popular saint, best known as the patron saint of hunters. A stag with a glowing cross between the antlers is said to have appeared to him, which is often shown in Hubertus portraits. This legend was originally attributed to Saint Eustace and over time 'migrated' to Hubertus. His memorial day in the calendar of saints is November 3rd.
