Chapel of St. Roch, Düsseldorf
The Chapel of St. Roch in Düsseldorf, Germany, was a chapel that existed from 1667 to 1897.[1]
History[edit]
In 1448, the veneration of St. Roch in Pempelfort was documented for the first time. In 1667, the chapel was built to mark the end of a plague epidemic.[1] It was a single-nave building. The ground plan was cruciform and the sacred space was vaulted on the inside. An eight-sided ridge turret rose above the crossing. After the Church of St. Roch was completed in 1897, the chapel was demolished.[1]
