Santa Maria de Querol

May the giant stones of Santa Maria de Querol - a beautiful, if crumbling, Romanic church in Spain - tell their secrets to you, as they do for no-one else.

**Santa Maria de Querol** is a Romanic church located in Montmajor, in the **Spanish region of Berguedà**. Though it currently stands in ruins and runs the risk of disappearing, it is considered a cultural heritage site and is classified as element patrimonial with the number IPAC 3497. It was once the church of the Querol castle, which belonged to the County of Berga.

The church was built in the 12th century and has a single aisle and a semicircular eastern apse, built with large, well-worked stones. Its northern wall is well-conserved while the southern wall is badly ruined. The church was a sufragania of Sant Sadurní de Montmajor, and was once a parrish until services shifted to the new church of Montmajor in the beginning of the 20th century.
