Arnsberg is a much visited place of pilgrimage. This is evidenced by the beautiful votive candles, which are kept on the left side of the choir. The youngest votive candles in the pilgrimage church are only a few years old and were donated by the pilgrims due to the centuries-old tradition of their connection. The pilgrimage developed when, after the Thirty Years' War, plague-like epidemics struck the population and the plague patron Sebastian was called for help. The oldest plague candles date from this period, the rest from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Sebastian in Arnsberg was rebuilt in 1770 by the court architect Maurizio Pedetti in the High Baroque style, as the previous church was burned down in the Thirty Years' War.
The church was dedicated to Saint Sebastian, the patron saint against the plague.
