CZ: Sv. Roch z Montpellieru (asi 1295 - 1327) je francouzský katolický svetec, predevším uctívaný jako patron proti moru.
Sv. Roch bývá znázornován jako mladý zarostlý muž v poutnickém odení (široký klobouk a hul), který si vykasává odev na noze, takže jsou patrné praskající morové vredy na jeho stehne. Doprovází jej pes, který nekdy olizuje hnis, vytékající z vredu na noze.
Pískovcová socha svetce z roku 1811, jehož atributem je pes. Na podstavci je nemecký nápis: "Heiliger Rochus bitte für uns! 1811 Erneu 1932"
