Two kilometres from Llinars, at a height of 242 metres above sea level, in the foothills of the El Corredor mountains, we find the Sant Sadurní de Collsabadell Church. This church was first mentioned in 998 in documents from the Sant Cugat Monastery under the name Collum de Sabadello, and was consecrated in 1130.
The current church is built atop the foundations of the original Romanesque church from the 12th century. Its most prominent characteristic is its bell tower: slender and square, it is divided into three sections, the highest of which has gargoyles, and is crowned with merlons. Attached to the church is half a round tower, which is used to access the bell tower’s second level.
The church was restored in the 13th century and extended between the 16th and 17th centuries with a rectangular chancel and side chapels. In 1972, excavations beneath the chancel unearthed the foundations of the primitive Romanesque apse.
The first chapel, dedicated to the Rosary, is home to corbels bearing the sculptured depictions of grotesque and monstrous animals.
The clergy house, located to the side of the church, was built in the 16th century.
The Spanish Civil War left the church in a state of disrepair. Fortunately, the reredos of the Rosary, part of the reredoses of Saint Isidore and Our Lady of Good Luck and several pieces of goldwork from the 17th-19th centuries were salvaged.
