Chapel of Saint Roch, Roman Catholic chapel in Jarošov, Czech Republic

The Chapel of Saint Roch displays an elliptical dome supported by arcades connected through columns, featuring a Neo-Renaissance main altar from 1879.

The chapel construction took place between 1680 and 1682 following a severe plague epidemic that impacted Prague and surrounding regions.

The interior contains a Baroque tin baptismal font from 1595 and Stations of the Cross paintings created in 1854 depicting religious scenes.

The chapel grounds underwent recent renovations, including roofing repairs and park improvements, making the site more accessible to visitors throughout the year.

The main altar showcases a 1760 painting of the Virgin Mary and saints set against a background depicting the devastation caused by plague.
