První boží muka, chránící sochu sv.Rocha, patrona kameníku, byla na soucasném míste (dnes Skalní ulice c. 395) postavena již v roce 1838. Tehdy zde byly lomy pískovce "žehrováku". Již koncem 19. století byla socha pravdepodobne poškozena a nakonec odstranena. Soška byla v prubehu 20. století navrácena a znovu odstranena nekolikrát.

The first wayside shrine protecting sv.Rocha sculpture, patron of stonemasons was on the present site (now Rock Street No. 395) built in 1838. Then there were sandstone quarries' žehrováku ". Already in the late 19th century the statue was probably damaged and eventually removed. The statue was removed and returned again a few times in the 20th century.
