The Kappel was built in the 17th century in honor of St. Roch. Inside, murals depict the life of the saint.

The chapel is unfortunately closed and can only be viewed from the outside.

Saint Roch (Saint ROCH), to whom this chapel is dedicated as patron, was born in Montpellier, France, in the mid-14th century. He is popularly known - along with Saint Sebastian - as a "plague saint". Characteristic of the depiction of Rochus in paintings and as a statue is that he usually points to 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 was ill himself and withdrew into solitude, providing him with bread every day.
The feast day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
