It is located in the Masias de Roda and was erected under the patronage of the Viscount’s family from Osona. The promoter was Viscountess Ermetruit, when in 1006 she bought the allodial domain of Casserres from Count Ramon Borrell of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith the intention of building a monastery dedicated to Sant Pere.<\/p>\n

Prior to the construction of the monastery, there was a completed castle in this place documented since 898, with a chapel dedicated to Saint Peter, which the viscounts decided to convert into a monastery. An ancient legend says that the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres was founded by the Viscounts of Osona and Cardona on the relics of a child of the Viscounts who was preserved mummified, who, three days after being born, spoke and went to say that he would not live more than thirty days, and that once dead his body would be placed in a closed ark, on a mule. Wherever the animal stopped, a monastery was to be built under the patronage of St. Peter. The relics of this child were much revered in the monastery and when there was a drought they went down in procession to the Ter and wet the ark containing the child, in the waters of the river.<\/p>\n

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, the history is explained. and the process of building the monastic complex.<\/p>\n
