Isolated on the board. towards Mallien. the Saint-Roch chapel is a large building, four meters high, in an octagonal shape. It was built in 1850 at the request of the inhabitants to protect against the cholera which was rampant at that time. The construction cost 905 francs (at the time this sum was not cheap). The main altar of the old parish church {before 1857) dedicated to Saint-Lupicin was transferred to this chapel. The statue of Saint-Roch also comes from the old church. The rubble from the removal of the old cemetery surrounding the parish church as well as the bones unearthed were buried in front. Two lime trees frame the ground in front of it, where an open-air mass is celebrated every year on August 16 on the occasion of the patronal feast of Saint Roch. For more than twenty years, this chapel fell into disrepair following its abandonment due to lack of financial resources. It really needed to be restored.

Saint Roch, to whom this church/chapel is dedicated, 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 plague patients, he was ill himself and withdrew into solitude, providing him with bread every day. The memorial day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
