It is a very simple Romanesque-style hermitage, with a single nave covered with a barrel vault, with a semicircular apse, which has a double-flow window. The nave is very short, which suggests that it was shortened during the restoration,
We must highlight the arrangement of the belfry bell tower, perpendicular to the façade, for its originality. Next to the chapel is the hermit's house.
In the 15th century it was known as San Mateo del Bosque and was property of the Priory of Sant Miquel del Fai.

The hermitage crowns the top of the hill of Sant Mateu. A good stop for hikers and mountain bikers.

The hermitage of Sant Mateu del Bosc belongs to the municipality of Premià de Dalt, in the Maresme region. It crowns the highest point of the Sant Mateu mountain range. The chapel is located about 500 m from the farmhouse of Can Riera and, close by, there is the house where the hermits lived in the 16th and 17th centuries, and then a family of guardians. It is within the boundaries of the Serralada Litoral Park, protected as a cultural asset of local interest.
