The hermitage is dedicated to the Saint Abbot of Banyoles popularly called Sant Mer.

According to documents from the Lleal d'Olives house, already in the 13th century there was a hermitage dedicated to the saint. This primitive church was rebuilt in 1627 at the initiative of the noble Ramón de Xammar i Samsó with the stones demolished from the nearby castle of Turris Durris and with the authorization of the Chapter of Girona.

Excavating the basement of the chapel, a casket was found with the relics of a sacred body, deposited in an altar dedicated to Sant Mer in the church of Sant Esteve de Guialbes and from where it is taken in procession."
