This small chapel was built before 1750 and is dedicated to Saint Ruchus (* 1349). As the patron saint against plague and epidemics, he enjoyed great popular veneration well into the 18th century.On the occasion of the corona pandemic, which began worldwide in 2020, the chapel and its surroundings were prepared in 2021 and the renovated Rochus figure was used on August 16th, the anniversary of the saint's death.A bench in front of the chapel invites you to take a break.
