The Rochuskapelle on the Geißel was built in 1611 as a plague chapel. It is the oldest sacred building and was restored in 1985 in a very successful restoration.
The chapel is dedicated to Fabian and Sebastian.
Classic candlelit concerts take place here in summer!

Saint Roch, after whom this chapel is named, was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of the depiction of Roch in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill with the disease and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day.

The memorial day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
