        It was built by Franciscans in the 17th century. St. Roch, patron saint against the plague.

          The St. Rochus Chapel
          (GPS N50.915980 E7.808405)
          The 17th century chapel was built in honor of St. Rochus. The name suggests that the plague was raging in the Wildenburg region during or before its construction, because St. Rochus was venerated as a "plague saint." From the Rochus Chapel, located west of the Wildenburg on the high path on the Rollsberg above the village of Wildenburg, you have a good view of the Wildenburg keep.

            The Rochus Chapel dates back to the 17th century and is located directly on the almost 8 km long Witches' Trail.
