The parish church of Sant Fruitós is located within the enclosure of Brunyola Castle, integrated into the fortified historic centre of the municipality. The complex is a medieval-origin church closely linked to the evolution of the castle, with which it shares space and defensive structures.
The current building is the result of a 16th-century reconstruction after the severe damage caused by the 1427 earthquakes, reusing part of the original walls, ancient construction elements, and one of the castle’s towers, transformed into a bell tower. It is a single-nave church with side chapels, a stone voussoir doorway and an oculus, with a simple façade strongly shaped by its location within the walled enclosure.
One of its most distinctive elements is the bell tower, integrated into an old circular tower of the castle, nearly 25 metres high and topped with an octagonal crown. Inside, it preserves an altarpiece dedicated to Sant Fruitós and devotional elements, while the overall complex has maintained its general layout without major modern structural changes.
