The monastery was founded in the 10th century by Osorio Gutiérrez, the holy count, who on his death was buried in his temple, in a marble Paleo-Christian sarcophagus from the 6th century, originally from Aquitaine. The sarcophagus can be seen in the Valdeflores chapel (18th century) of the monastery church.

This - former - monastery complex was not dedicated to one of the many people we honor as blessed or saints and ask for their heavenly intercession with God, but dedicated to the incarnate Son of God Jesus Christ, our redeemer and savior ("San Salvador").

The old monastery in Lourenza was founded around the year 1000 and has since had an exciting history, it burned, for example. almost completely out in 1878. Today you can find the city administration in it. The facade of the ornate adjoining church dates back to the Baroque period.
