The church of Sant Pere de Montgrony (originally Mogrony) is located at an altitude of 1,408 meters, on the sunny slope of the Puig de Sant Pere (1,665 meters above sea level), buttress of the Sierra de Mogrony, in the call yourself St. Peter's Plan.
The church of Sant Pere has been documented since 899, but the current building was rebuilt around 1130. It has a large nave with an apse and two apsidioles in a cross or clover arrangement; at noon it has a portico with three arches that precedes the portal and the belfry. The apses are adorned with Lombard-style arches and bands.
It is thought that the devotion to the Virgin of Mogrony [possibly the first invocation of that 'castle' of dubious references], began in the church of Sant Pere, today, in its right apse, an image is venerated. which we do not know how to identify.
The action of the bishops of Vic, saved two sides of the altar from this temple, which in the late nineteenth century entered the Episcopal Museum of Vic. In them they represent Sant Pere and Sant Pau. It is believed that they were painted by the master of Soriguerola in the last quarter of the 13th or early 14th century, in a style that still shows the Romanesque forms, but which already announces the plasticity and stylized figures of Gothic art.
A 13th-century carving of the Crucified Christ on display at the Yale University Museum in New Haven did not have the same fate; in this case, if you want to see this size, you will not have to go around our region, but you will have to travel to the United States to observe it.

From one of the patio windows you can enjoy a suggestive view of the Pedraforca in the distance.
