The first mention of this hermitage dates from 1019, calling it Sancti Amancii Anglesis. Some authors believe that the 860 mention of a church built in the Vallis Anglesis referred to this building. Located astride Anglès and Sant Martí Sapresa, the hermitage of Sant Amanç was home to a parish before these two towns (even Sant Martí Sapresa was initially a suffragan). This fact led to the appearance, around it, of the homonymous neighborhood of scattered farmhouses.

The decrease in population in the neighborhood led to the fact that from 1362, the condition of suffrage was changed and Sant Amanç became dependent on the parish of Sant Martí Sapresa. From the 15th century, the cult declined there, until its complete abandonment in the 19th century.

From 2007, a non-profit association, made up of local residents and other professionals, is restoring the structure, having achieved the complete closure of the roof this same 2011.
