Church of Sant Llop de Viabrea

The viscounty of Cabrera was a territory which, in the religious sphere, comprised various parishes with their churches and hermitages, offering religious services to society. Likewise, many different monasteries of various religious orders were founded.

Originally, this church was called Sant Esteve de Sabruguera, but at the beginning of the 16th century, an altar dedicated to Sant Llop was added, and within a few years, this became titular. The church may date back to the 10th or 11th centuries, and in 1246, it is mentioned in a papal bull from Pope Innocent IV regarding the monastery in Breda. Since the medieval period, this rural parish had been part of the viscounty of Cabrera (within the district of Montsoriu Castle and the Orri bailiwick), and between the 16th and 18th centuries, it became a suffragan of the parish of Riells. The building and its contents suffered damage during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and its most recent restoration was carried out in 1982.
