The small chapel dates from the first half of the 18th century. Inside is a copy of a statue of St. Rochus from around 1670. The original is in the parish church of St. Juliana in Malsch at the foot of the Letzenberg.

Saint Roch, to whom this chapel is consecrated as patron, was born in Montpellier, France, in the middle of the 14th century. He is popularly - next to Saint Sebastian - as the "plague saint". Characteristic for the depiction of Rochus in paintings and as a statue is that he usually indicates a plague bump on his leg; Often a dog can also be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for people suffering from the plague, he himself was sick with it and withdrew into solitude, and provided him with bread every day. The feast day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16.
