Sant Cristòfol de Borrassers is located on an elevated point close to the ridge where the livestock road passes, to the north-east of the urban center of Santa Eulàlia de Puig-oriol. The current chapel consists of a single nave, finished in a presbytery located on a higher level, and with a small sacristy attached to the right of the nave. On the main facade, facing west, there is a beautiful semi-circular arched portal followed by a stone dust guard. In the central dome is the anagram of Jesus Christ IHS with a cross and the date 1636. An oculus opens over the portal and a bell tower with a single eye crowns the facade. In front of the church is the old cemetery closed with a stone wall and an iron gate.

The current building is the result of the deep renovation that took place in the 18th century. Every year, for Sant Cristòfol, July 10, a mass is celebrated there and the joys are sung in honor of Sant Cristòfol.

The first news about the church is from 1062, when we find it mentioned as a parish. Sant Cristòfol was linked to the canonry of Santa Maria de Lluçà as a suffragan of the parish. In 1686 during the pastoral visit made by Bishop Antoni Pasqual, Sant Cristòfol was one of the suffragania of Santa Maria and had 7 farms. In 1741, construction work began on a new temple, located outside, and was not finished until 1789. In 1878, Sant Cristòfol was added as a public chapel to the new parish of Santa Eulalia
