Rochus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint Roch is the patron saint against the plague. The pilgrimage to Saint Roch takes place on the Sunday after August 16th. On that day, Mass is celebrated outdoors. The organ can be adjusted using soundboards, allowing its sound to reach the outside as well.

Goethe donated a painting of Saint Roch to the chapel. Unfortunately, the entire chapel burned down in 1889 after being struck by lightning. The current building was reconstructed by cathedral architect Max Meckel between 1893 and 1895. The architectural style is Neo-Gothic.

January 1, 2024,Rund um den Rochusberg

Start with good resolutions on New Year's Day!

A pleasant, quiet, easy-to-run round around the Rochusberg in Bingen. But be careful: on the weather side it is drafting and blowing heavily🌬

There are enough parking spaces (free of charge).
