A JEWEL IN AGONY History The monastery was founded in the 11th century, before the foundation of the kingdom of Portugal, by the archbishop of the Cathedral of Braga, D. Areas (or Aires). The oldest document that makes reference to it is a donation letter dated 1084, as "monastery Sancti Simeonis". Other documents, from the beginning of the following century, accurately mention the location of the monastery. The monks have followed the rule of the Order of Canons Ruling St. Augustine ever since. In 1136, D. Afonso Henriques, still an infant, donated the monastery couto, including jurisdiction and land, to D. Paio Guterres, which had previously belonged to his mother, D. Teresa. In 1181, already king, he granted the couto letter to the monastery. In that century, the conventual church also served the parish of Junqueira, which developed around the complex. Wikipedia

The foundation of the Monastery of S. Simão and S. Judas Tadeu da Junqueira, by D. Areas, Archdeacon of the Cathedral of Braga, took place in the 11th century, and the document that contains the oldest authentic reference to the Monastery of S. Simão da Junqueira, a donation letter. In 1181, D. Afonso Henriques conferred the Couto Charter to the Monastery of Junqueira. In 1516, with the death of prior D. João Gonçalves, S. Simão da Junqueira passed into the possession of commendaries, who were for life and not only secular clerics but even lay nobles, which resulted, on the one hand, in the ruin of the patrimony of the Convent, on the other hand, the relaxation of the regular observance of the monastic spirit. In 1687, the construction of the Church dedicated to S. Simão and S. Judas Tadeu took place and, in 1770, the convent was extinguished by Breve de Clemente XIV; The Church has a Latin cross plan with two bell towers symmetrically integrated into the façade; In the 18th century, with the departure of the monks, the building became private property, being used as a manor house. Centered on the building's U-shaped plan, the house is rebuilt around the convent's former cloister in a conventional Baroque style. The cloister presents a design that respects the logic of the remaining exterior spaces.
