Located in the Moianès region, the chapel of Sant Miquel d'Argelaguer stands as a historic site dating back to the 13th century.

Sant Miquel d'Argelaguer is an old chapel located in the municipality of Castellcir, in the Moianès region. It is situated in the area of Vilacís, near and to the northwest of Ca l'Antoja, northeast of the current village of Castellcir, and north of the old parish church of Sant Andreu de Castellcir.

Today, only some ruins of the structure remain. The site is recognized as a historic place of worship, reflecting the Catholic denomination's presence in the area.

The chapel has historical records dating back to 1229, when donations were received through the testament of Guillema de Castellcir. These records provide a window into the long history of the site within the local landscape.
