The first church is documented in 898 as a parish within the domain of the castle of Taradell. Renewed in 1082 was consecrated by the bishop of Vic, Berenguer Sunifred.
At this time it corresponds the central nave that was enlarged, with side chapels, and probably the current bell tower, during the XVI and XVII centuries. Finally in the eighteenth century the facade is wrapped.
Of the Romanesque church there are only, near the baptismal font, two mid-point arcades from the 12th century that correspond to an ancient atrium or galilee.

This church was located within the castle of Taradell. It is documented from 908, already with parochial functions, and in 1042, with the complete name: Sant Martí de Vilaredral.
Of the building consecrated in 1086, the area of the central nave is preserved; perhaps in the twelfth century, an atrium was added to it. It seems that the extension began in the 16th century (chapels of San Sebastián and El Roser) and lasted until the 18th century, when the two side naves were built; the façade and the bell tower are possibly from 1769
