Monestir de Santa Maria de Bonrepòs

In 1170 Albert de Castellvell donated the area to Arnau de Salflores, who built a monastery in the eastern part of the town that was called "de Bonrepòs" and where several hermits from the surrounding area gathered. The Archbishop of Tarragona Ramon de Rocabertí authorised the establishment of a female community in the town in 1210, which moved to Bonrepòs in 1215 after the monks had moved to the new charterhouse of Poboleda. In 1462, the monastery was definitively abandoned due to the lack of nuns. After the dispute between Escaladei and Santes Creus in the mid-15th century, the building was granted to the Carthusian Monastery of Escaladei, which used it as a farm; The scattered goods, objects of worship and the archive were given to Santes Creus. In 1817 the Carthusians built a farmhouse on the remains of the monastery. Once it became private property, agricultural work continued until it was abandoned, apparently in the mid-20th century. Its use and ownership have since been ceded to ICONA, where it carries out reforestation work.
