The vertical sundial on the southern wall of the chapel of St. Rochus in Rochus' garden. The one-nave chapel with a gable facade was built after 1647 as a vow of the citizens of Gradec against the plague. A wooden tower with a pyramidal cap, covered with shingles, is in line with the main facade above the gable. The wooden main altar is from the 18th century, while the rest of the inventory and the wooden choir come from the first half of the 19th century. The sundial is probably from the 17th century, and contains the inscription "sNescit Mea Vita Sepulcrum Dum Rochus" (My life knows no grave while St. Rochus is there). Source
