Ruins of the church of Santa Maria de Peracamps

Just a few ruined walls remain of the old rectory. The rest of the old church of Santa Maria can be found among the vegetation. A cistern is visible today. The church was built near the castle. The castle depended on the canons of Urgell from the century mentioned in history, and the priors of the confraria de la Mare de Déu dels Colls de Sant Llorenç de Morunys presented the chaplain of their church. The church of Santa Maria became a sufragània of Torredenegó when the Bisbat de Solsona was formed or shortly after (1623). It remained so until the Bisbat was suppressed in 1851.

In 1896, Doctor Ramon Riu i Cabanes proposed a reform of the parishes, suggesting a new parish within the term of Llobera. Two options were considered: Sant Pere de la Sala, near the term of Torà, and the church of Sant Pere Màrtir de Peracamps. Bishop Ramon Riu i Cabanes preferred the barriada or sufragània that committed to building the rectory, and that was Peracamps. This new parish included the nearby houses and the Hostal Nou. The first rector called vicar was mossèn Maurici Prat in 1901.

This new parish had a short life, primarily because the war of 1936 completely damaged the church. Furthermore, by the 1940s, the surroundings of Peracamps had few masies. After discussions, Bishop Doctor Valentí Comellas and the owners agreed to build a new church near the road from Solsona to Torà.
