MONESTIR DE SANT PERE DE CASSERRES

The monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres, the only one of the Benedictine order in Osona located in the Masies de Roda, was erected under the patronage of the Viscountal Osona family. The promoter was the Viscountess Ermetruit, when in 1006 she bought the alodial domain of Casserres from Count Ramon Borrell of Barcelona, with the intention of building a monastery dedicated to Saint Peter.
The monastery currently houses a permanent exhibition where the life of the monks in Casserres is interpreted, through the recreation of the rooms that have preserved the same layout over the centuries, as well as an audiovisual where the legend, history and the process of construction of the monastic complex are explained.
