Sant Pere de Montgrony, Romanesque church at 1,408 m in Gombrèn, Spain

Sant Pere de Montgrony is a Romanesque church on the Pla de Sant Pere at 1,408 m, above the cliff of Santa Maria de Montgrony in Gombrèn. It has a single nave with a barrel vault and a trefoil east end: a central apse and two apsidoles, all with Lombard arcading outside. A south porch with three round arches precedes the raised portal, and a two-opening bell gable rises over the south apsidole.

The church of Sant Pere de Mogrony is documented from 899, though the present building was rebuilt around 1130. Nearby stood the castle of Mogrony, recorded in 885 when the priest Esclua sold it to Count Guifré el Pelós, who soon ceded it to the monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses. The church remained that monastery's property. Abandoned during the 19th century, it was restored between 1880 and 1915 under bishops Morgades and Torras i Bages of Vic, and again in the early 1960s.

The church was the centre of the old parish of Sant Pere de Mogrony, later replaced as parish church by Gombrèn. During the restorations of 1880–1915, backed by the bishops of Vic Morgades and Torras i Bages, patriotic Romantic festivals were held here that hailed Montgrony as the "Catalan Covadonga".

The church stands on the Pla de Sant Pere at 1,408 m, about 3 km on foot or 5 km by road north of Gombrèn. The south porch shelters the raised portal, reached by six steps. The north side has no windows, so the interior is lit mainly from the south and west.

The two wooden door leaves of the south portal keep their original wrought-iron scrollwork, probably meant to ward off evil and compared to the doors of the Priory of Marcevol in Roussillon. The portal itself sits six steps above the porch floor and has no carved ornament.
