It already existed in 1046 but is documented since 1120. The tradition and worship began in the 11th century. In 1024, there is evidence of the purchase of a vineyard and some woods located in the Sant Medir valley and the establishment of a monastery in 1046. Old documents call it Sant Emeteri, but it was Catalanized as "Medir". In the Middle Ages, it formed a parish with Sant Adjutori and Sant Vicenç. The monastery of Sant Cugat had civil jurisdiction there until the 14th century, which became the municipal organization of Sant Cugat. The monks took care of it until 1446. The popularization of the legend of Sant Medir of Barcelona turned the hermitage into a destination for pilgrims. In 1802, the first gathering of Sant Medir was held there and from 1846, pilgrims from the Barcelona town of Gràcia joined. Since then, it has been the destination of the pilgrimage for the feast of Sant Medir every March 3.
The Hermitage of Sant Medir is a Spanish church in the Serra de Collserola, in the municipality of Sant Cugat del Vallès, Vallès Occidental. It is located near the old Roman road from Ègara (Terrassa) to Barcino (Barcelona), which passed through Castrum Octavianum before entering the Serra de Collserola through the Gausac valley. Every March 3, the traditional gathering of Sant Medir is held there. The building is included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.

This is all that remains of the cooperative wine press, begun in 1921 to the design of Cesar Martinell, an architect who specialised in agricultural building at that time, inspired both by Gaudi's art nouveau design and the rationalism of the beginning of the 20th century. The wine industry declined after the 1950s and the last pressing was completed in 1988. The surrounding buildings were demolished, including, in 1994, the hall for vats, to allow for the expansion of urban building. In the remaining hall, exhibitions are shown and can be visited on certain days, particularly weekends
