He also looked after health of domestic animals, particularly cattle.

History

The chapel was built in the end of the 18th century, on a hill, by a spring considered miraculous by local residents. There are as many as 7 chapels in the parish, located in a hilly landscape, among other things a chapel of Our Lady of Consolation (19th century) and a figure of St John of Nepomuk (approx. 1800). Water from the spring of St Roch is respected even today and given to ill cattle. In August, a Mass is celebrated to which the faithful come with their animals.

Description

The building is made of brick, covered with a tented roof, and formed as a classical portico. It features a pseudo-tympanum covered with weatherboarding. The pediment rests on four white-painted columns with gilded capitals. The patron saint is presented traditionally, with a pastoral stick and a dog.

The monument is accessible without limitations.
