Sant Pau de Colomer or Terrades is a small church very transformed located in front of the Colomer farmhouse, about 50 meters away.

The chapel is preceded by a rather monumental double staircase.

It has a single nave and a semicircular apse.

The original building was modified with some elements; the 12th century Romanesque nave and apse are preserved intact.

The apse is smooth and only shows a double split opening partially covered inside.

On the south wall, there is a rectangular portal preceded by a porch supported by three octagonal shaft columns; next to it is the sacristy added in the 19th century.

The small quadrangular bell tower and the oculus on the west facade were also modified.

The nave was renovated after 1939, and its entire interior was covered with a layer of stone slabs held together with cement mortar.

Historical news

The place of Terrades appears documented in 1074, when the nobleman Folc donated to Santa Maria de Ripoll a farm located in Terrades, which belonged to the parish of Santa Maria d'Alpens.

From 1600 the site of Terrades was replaced by that of Colomer, corresponding to that of a nearby farm.

The church has been known since 1190, due to testamentary bequests (it appears again in 1322 and 1437).

Successive transformations (1737, 1887, 1947) changed the original appearance of this church, although the solidity of its building has been preserved and ensured.

In 1947 Pau Macià i Pons decorated the apse with paintings."
