New church of Sant Esteve de Vinyoles
The new church of Sant Esteve de Vinyoles is located in the centre of the village of Vinyoles d’Orís, in the municipality of Les Masies de Voltregà.
This church, which was promoted by the priest Biadiu Quadrenchs, was built in 1952 and inaugurated in 1955. The architect in charge of designing the new church of Sant Esteve de Vinyoles was Jordi Bonet Amengol, who updated Antoni Gaudí’s theories.
The new church of Sant Esteve de Vinyoles has a single nave. On the main façade, we can see how the entrance is covered by a porch. Above the porch there is a rose window, as well as a gallery of five semicircular arched windows arranged in a triangular shape.
The interior of the church is decorated with paintings by the Torelló artist Rifà. There is also the altarpiece of the Holy Cave, or Crypt, from 1950. This altarpiece was the work of Josep Maria Camps Arnau.
