This chapel is dedicated to Saint Rochus, who is revered as the patron saint of the plague. It is documented for the first time in 1646. The bell in the delicate roof tab bears the inscription: 1651 + s.maria ora pro nobis
The chapel was initially in the middle of the hamlet of Kelmis, which had been elevated to Kelmi's rule on September 29, 1650. On May 20, 1662, King Philip of Spain gave his consent to the sale of the parcel of land, the proceeds of which were to be used to hire a chaplain who had a mass to read every day, either in the chapel or on the site of the mine. In the second half of the 17th century, the little church suffered badly from the crimes of the French Soldateska. However, it could always be repaired. The chapel's interior was redesigned to meet the requirements of the new liturgy conforming to the Council. During this work, a 30 cm thick and 74 x 84 cm large altar stone was found, which could provide information about an older period. This stone was embedded in the north wall of the chancel.
In 2004 the chapel was completely redesigned inside and out as part of the Interreg III project "Gentle Tourism in the Göhltal". (Source: kelmis.be)
