      The church was already documented in 882 as sancti Menne, basilica in Villa ablares and also in 1019, in the endowment of the Girona canonry. In the 14th century, the Santcliment family acquired the lordship.

      In the baptismal font there is a provision by Bishop Taberner d'Ardena which stipulates that "baptismal fountains are covered with a wooden cover, covered with leather (to prevent dust from reaching the water) and with spiked nails ( to prevent anyone from sitting on the top) 1730 »
