Abstract
The first feminine monastery of Jonqueres, belonging to the military Order of Santiago, was constructed near Sabadell, in the XIIIth century. By king James I authority, Pere Carbonell built a mill outside the walls of Barcelona. The king granted his dominion over the mill to the Master of the mentioned Order and allowed the construction, close to the same mill, of a second monastery for the Jonqueres community. Because of the place insalubrity, they soon moved to a third monastery inside the city. The nuns had the dominion over the mill as once the Master had. But when the monastery of Pedralbes was built, both monasteries enjoyed indivisibly that right. The mill, from the XVth century, was rented to some millers. Rents and profits were divided in equal parts. There were several lawsuits between the two convents and also there were some agreements, as in 1532. Because of the war, in 1808, the Jonqueres nuns left their monastery forever. Nevertheless, their managers kept renting the mill at least until 1824.

Summary
Van passar alguns anys i fou el rei Alfons II el qui, veient que aquell Hoc era "multum infirmus", va concedir a la priora Guillema de Sant Roma, el 1289, tot i aprovant la donació de Jaume I i sense oblidar la condicio d'aquesta pel que feia a la situació de l'edifici, la llicència per edificar el monestir en un altre Hoc, a Barcelona o en el seu territori; però els conservava la meitat del dret reial sobre el molí i un altre dret sobre la seva aigua.
