If there is a monastery that has managed to overcome the drought, it is Sant Pere de Casserres, which shines again in the meander of the Ter surrounded again by water and an intense green landscape, as we see in The Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia .
The meander of the Ter, at the end of the Sau reservoir and surrounding the monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres, was dry, totally dry, not long ago. April had no water.
According to his definition, a meander is a curve described by the course of a river, whose sinuosity is pronounced. But, in this case, the river evaporated until the last rains of spring and the first of summer restored its splendor.
Next to the Sau reservoir we find the viewpoint of the meander of the Ter, from which you can see Sant Pere de Casserres, an 11th century Romanesque monastery of the Benedictine order and which has an origin closely linked to women. As can be seen in the images, it has managed to overcome the drought.
It is recorded that in the year 1006, the Viscountess Ermetruit de Osona-Cardona, together with her daughter-in-law Engúncia, raised money for the foundation of the monastery that they wanted to convert into the family monastery.
Finally, it was Engúncia de Osona-Cardona who was able to see the consecration of the abbey in 1053, although a Benedictine community had already been installed a few years earlier.
It was the burial place of this lineage and other noble families of the region, main benefactors of the community.
