In 1154, the first Cistercian monastery of the Crown of Aragon was founded here, in an isolated valley between the peaks that separate Maçanet and Tordera. The nuns remained there until the mid-16th century, after which time it was turned into a farmhouse.

The various constructions of the monastery gradually disappeared, and the church remained unused, hidden among sheds, stables and haylofts until it was finally restored a few years ago. Although from the outside it is hard to distinguish the church among the farm buildings, entering the restored interior is like travelling back to the Middle Ages because, surprisingly, the Romanesque building, with the typical structure of a nave terminated by a semicircular apse, has been preserved intact.
