Sant Antoni Abat de Renant, tucked away in Renant, the least populated municipality in Catalonia, stands as a surprising sight with its simple design. The long-ignored structure is a testament to the humble faith of the village, Alexander Llogaret's tribute as the religious center. A single nave, rectangular structure, elegantly built to last, features white stone checkerboard-like walls. The buttressed exterior walls tower over the landscape, with a double-pitched roof capped by a bell tower, lending an austere grandeur to this modest structure. The main entrance marked by a depressed arc is accentuated by an oculus above it, revealing a touch of mystery. Today, one family maintains the church, and the annual mass, held on the first Sunday of October, serves as its fleeting moments of attention.
