Sanctuary documented since the year 989, situated on an isolated crag of the Mola de Lord at 1,150 m of altitude; a single-nave temple, 31 by 17 m, with side chapels between buttresses. The Carlists burned it in 1836; the current Neoclassical building was erected on the initiative of the industrialist Esteve Monegal and consecrated in 1870. It preserves the 13th-century Romanesque carving of the Mare de Déu de Lord, 1.10 m tall. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
