The presence of two important churches in Serralongue reflects the importance of religious life in Vallespir over the centuries. It also reinforces the idea that the village was an important place both in the spiritual sphere and in border defence during the Middle Ages.

The Church of Sainte-Marie dates back to the 11th century, making it one of the oldest churches in the area. It was built at a time when the Romanesque style predominated in religious architecture, giving it a robust and simple character, with basic geometric shapes and few decorations.

Like other Romanesque churches in the region, it is built of stone with thick walls. Its structure has a single nave, and its semicircular apse is typical of the Romanesque style. The simplicity of the construction reflects the austerity of the religious architecture of the time in rural areas such as Serralongue. It also has a small bell tower.
