The date the founding of the monastery before the year 812, by the abbot Bonitus, which won the Count of Girona Odilia aprisió on the right of a wasteland called "Baniola" the pagus Besalú. The legend, until the nineteenth century showed the historical truth, said that the founder was St. emeritus Banyoles or San Mer, which would have been the first abbot.

Abbot Mercoral, Bonitus successor, Louis the Pious was obtained, confirming the rule that ownership of the Banyoles lake, its waters and surrounding lands. The first inhabitants of Banyoles settled around the monastery and remained there for centuries, under the feudal power of the abbot.
In 1250, the abbot bought the Spanish Cartellà Porqueres, and with it part of the feudal jurisdiction of Banyoles.
In 1303, the abbot of Vallespirans Brother Bernard was forced to grant a charter to the town of Bnyoles City, under the arbitration of Eymeric Usall, although in 1333 tried to keep Banyolina subject to misuse the Remences when, due to the crisis of that year, trying to flee to the new town that allowed them to build in San Andrés de Mata in the same Eymeric Usall. Finally, his successor, Brother Ramon Coll, had to give up the Remences Banyolina.
However, the abbots continued to struggle with success, to maintain the civil jurisdiction of Banyoles.
The buildings that constituted the monastery suffered several destructions over time. Currently, the architectural ensemble known as the Monastery is a mixture of styles produced in different periods.
