Església de Sant Llorenç de Gaserans – Sant Feliu de Buixalleu

Sant Llorenç de Gaserans is one of the churches that best helps explain the scattered historic landscape of Sant Feliu de Buixalleu. Set in a rural environment, away from the more densely populated centres, it served for centuries as a point of reference for the farmhouses and families living across the area. In places like this, the church was not only a place of worship, but also a centre for social connection and community organisation.

Of Romanesque origin and documented since the Middle Ages, the building still preserves the essence of small rural churches built with functionality, solidity and permanence in mind. Later reforms are part of its history and show that Sant Llorenç was not an isolated remnant of the past, but a place that remained active and adapted to the needs of each period.

Its strength lies precisely in this discretion. Sant Llorenç de Gaserans is not a monumental heritage site, but it is a clear testimony to how rural life was organised in inland La Selva. As part of Enselva’t, it is a stop for discovering simple architecture, deeply rooted in the territory and closely linked to the memory of the communities that have inhabited this landscape.
