description
A chapel in Rodder was first mentioned in 1428. When the chapel was rebuilt in 1907, the lava border of the arched portal with the year 1745 was reused. The quarry stone chapel with four axes and a retracted choir has been extensively renovated in recent years. There is a round window above the portal and a rectangular ridge turret sits on the roof , which is crowned by a weather vane . The two bells are from 1481 and 1558. Buttresses on the nave and the choir structure the outer wall.

The baroque wooden altar from the 17th century was taken from the old chapel . In the center there is a painting depicting the crucifixion of Christ and above it Mary as Queen of Heaven. Sculptures of St. Rochus , to whom the chapel is consecrated , St. Joseph with child, Our Lady Mary and St. Quirinus stand on consoles in the ship.
