Rochuskapelle am Rochusberg

The Rochus Chapel, built by Rudolf von Teuffenbach in 1648, stands as a landmark visible from afar on the Kellerberg, which is probably unique in Austria, with seven rows of cellars one above the other and 129 cellars, most of which were carved out of tegel and loess around 1650 and lie up to ten meters below the earth's surface.

This chapel, also known as Wutzelburg due to its round shape, was built as a plague chapel and is one of the few examples of Italian Renaissance architecture north of the Alps. The building was dedicated to St. Roch, the patron saint. It offers a magnificent view of the Marchauen as far as the Little Carpathians. The Marchau, one of the most fascinating floodplains in Central Europe, is an insider tip for nature lovers and enchants visitors with its contrasting landscape.
Today, the chapel is also used for weddings or christenings and as a religious venue.

During the "Young Wine Tasting" in March and the "Wine Autumn" in September, the winegrowers on Rochusberg open their cellar doors and invite you to taste their wines. The microclimate created by the March, its floodplain landscape and the Pannonian influence characterizes this small wine village and is also reflected in the award-winning wines.
