Plague Chapel of St. Rosalie, Baroque chapel at Red bank, Košice, Slovakia.

The chapel features a single-nave structure with a tower topped by an onion-shaped dome and lantern, displaying intricate architectural elements throughout its design.

The chapel was constructed between 1714 and 1715 following a devastating plague outbreak that affected the region during the years 1710 to 1711.

The interior contains statues of Saint Rosalie on the rood-screen beam, along with carvings of putti holding an hourglass and skull, reflecting period symbolism.

Located at coordinates 48.733028, 21.233386, the chapel stands near a cemetery and remains accessible to visitors exploring the religious heritage of Košice.

The building's octagonal shape sets it apart from traditional chapel designs, while its 18th-century main altar painting depicts Saint Rosalie in remarkable detail.
