Kapliczka św. Rocha i św. Sebastiana w Łodzi

The wooden chapel features log construction, a flat ceiling, and a suspended Baroque choir, with an 18th-century altar containing the restored image of Saint Roch.

Built in the early 18th century, the chapel remains one of only two surviving structures from the original six-chapel Franciscan complex in Łagiewniki.

Saint Roch, venerated since the 15th century in Poland, represents protection against infectious diseases, with his image displaying pilgrim shells on his attire.

The chapel, located at 75 Wycieczkowa Street, underwent extensive renovations between 2003 and 2006, including external cladding restoration and roof structure repairs.

During World War II, this chapel and Saint Anthony's chapel survived, while German occupiers destroyed the other four structures between 1941 and 1943.
