    The chapel of St. Rochus was built at the instigation of the then abbot of the Cistercian abbey in Ebrach, Hieronymus Höllein. After the heavy plague year of 1611, he decided to build a chapel with a cemetery on the hill above the town of Großgressingen next to the infirmary for lepers, which had already been built in 1594. The chapel was ready by 1613, as an inscription on the southern eaves shows.
