Rochuskapelle

Rochuskapelle is a church building in neo-Gothic style located in Düsseldorf, characterized by pointed arch windows and ornately carved stone facades. The structure follows typical neo-Gothic features with slender proportions and decorative details throughout its exterior.

The chapel was built in the late 19th century as Düsseldorf expanded rapidly and required new parishes to serve its growing population. It represents the religious architecture that emerged during this period of industrialization and urban development.

The chapel serves the local Catholic community as a place for regular worship and religious celebrations. It functions as a spiritual center where residents gather for daily devotions and special occasions throughout the year.

The chapel is easily accessible by public transportation and located in a residential neighborhood with other amenities nearby. Visitors should note that opening times are tied to services, so it is advisable to check ahead for specific times.

Inside, the chapel houses a remarkable statue of Saint Roch, the patron saint against plagues, which holds a prominent place in the interior decoration. This figure is a rare example of preserved religious art from the neo-Gothic period.
