St-Roch Chapel can be found in the heart of the
cemetery, and was founded in 1816 by Mr. and Mrs.Maurice-Bracq, who chose to
devote it to Saint-Roch, the gravediggers' patron saint. The chapel was enlarged
in 1876 and it became a convenient place of worship for the residents of the
nearby old people's home. Even before the construction of the chapel, this place
had already some kind of religious character : in the Middle-Ages, an
institution looking after plague-stricken and leper-stricken people existed
there.
