Sant Serni de Terrers: A Romanesque church in Capolat

Sant Serni de Terrers is a Romanesque church located in the municipality of Capolat in the Berguedà region. The church is included in the Inventory of the Architectural Patrimony of Catalonia and is situated among old farming plots surrounded by woods.

The church is a single-nave building without absides with a rectangular floor plan. It is built from large, unhewn stone blocks arranged in rows. On the south wall, there is a later addition next to the entrance door, which features a masonry half-pointed arch. This same wall also contains a high and narrow double-sashed window.

A bell-gable with two openings crowned with masonry half-pointed arches is located centrally at the front. The roof consists of two waters with wooden beams and Arabic tiles, though it is partially collapsed. The interior was once whitewashed and painted white, but the building is now in a poor state with a collapsed roof, rubble, and cracks in the walls.

During its history, an image of the Mare de Déu de Terrers, likely from the 13th century, was venerated in this church. That image is now kept in a private house.
