Església de Sant Llop d'Hortsavinyà El document més antic on s'esmenta Hortsavinyà és del 1101, i el primer de l'església, del 1301, si bé la primitiva esglesiola podria ser del segle IX o X. La major part de l'edifici actual és del segle XVIII. Sant Llop n'és el patró (1 de setembre), i per això se celebra la festa major en aquestes dates, coincidint amb el primer diumenge del mes. I si sant Llop és el patró de l'església, santa Eulàlia ho és del poble, i pels volts del 10 de desembre se celebra la festa major petita d'Hortsavinyà. Tradicionalment, sant Llop fou l'encarregat, en la fe cristiana, de guarir el mal de coll i l'afonia, i se'l relacionava amb alguns comportaments dels llops. Tot això ens porta a cercar els seus orígens en un personatge precristià, el pare Llop, un home que convivia amb un ramat de llops a les muntanyes. Una vegada a l'any baixava a les masies a cobrar un tribut, que calia pagar si es volia evitar l'atac dels llops al bestiar i a les persones. També era creença general, segons podem llegir als bestiaris medievals catalans, que si un home veia un llop abans que el llop a ell, la bèstia restava muda per sempre més, però si era el llop qui el veia primer, qui perdia la veu era l'home. Això darrer es produïa per l'ensurt que patia la persona en trobar-se el llop. D'aquí ve la relació de sant Llop amb l'afonia. Font: XPN

Sant Miquel de Vallmanya L'església està documentada des de l'any 1021. L'actual edifici és, però, molt posterior, del segle XVI, modificat de nou el 1826, segons es pot llegir a la porta. La façana té el coronament ondulat típicament barroc. El campanar, quadrat, té el tram superior de maó vist i està cobert amb una cúpula. adossada a l'església hi ha la casa del sagristà.

The river here isn't channeled: it expands, dries up, or overflows depending on the season, creating a changing landscape of riparian forest and gravel. It's a great place to understand how a real Mediterranean river works and to ride at a leisurely pace, letting the terrain and surroundings set the rhythm.

Beyond the usual features, what's interesting is that it wasn't just a parish church, but a key crossroads between isolated farmhouses and forest trails. For centuries it also served as a meeting place for the foresters, who used the porch to exchange warnings about snowfalls, fires, or lost livestock. Inside, remnants of badly worn mural paintings were found, indicating that it was once more important than it appears today. The surrounding area retains that secluded and remote atmosphere that has always characterized Sant Llop.

Amidst ruins and wind, this castle holds a little-known curiosity: on one of its walls, stonemasons' marks in the shape of a cross were found. According to some historians, these are not religious symbols but rather the "signatures" of the workers who were paid per stone laid. They say each mark represented a payment. From the summit, the sea and Montseny seem closer, as if the castle still serves as a lookout, this time not for armies, but for horizons.
