The first documentary record of the site of "Riellos" is found in a precept dated September 9, 878. With the founding of the monastery of Breda in 1038, it came under its direct jurisdiction. In 1169 there is already written evidence that the church of Riells is dedicated to Sant Martí de Tours. In 1957 the parish became part of the Bishopric of Barcelona and the Bishopric of Girona. Sant Martí de Riells is currently the parish church of Riells i Viabrea.

In 1941 Mosén Pere Ribot
He was assigned to Riells del Montseny, where after the civil war of 1936/39 there was almost nothing left, but he got down to work and began to restore and beautify the entire interior.
On the outside he restored the façade and placed a Romanesque door, enhanced the bell tower with two bells which he named
Martina and Mercé.
And for what it's worth, in recent years I was in charge of keeping their roofs clean and leak-free 😀👍
