St. Andreas, Baroque church building in Babenhausen, Bavaria, Germany.
St. Andreas stands as a prominent baroque church featuring a rectangular nave with gothic ribbed vaulting, richly decorated interior stucco work, and a bell tower positioned west of the chancel.
The church traces its origins to the early 13th century with first parish records from 1235, later undergoing major baroque transformation by architect Michael Stiller between 1714 and 1717.
The church serves as the main parish church and former Fugger family burial site, representing centuries of religious tradition and community gathering in the Swabian region of Bavaria.
Located on Fürst-Fugger-Straße 4, the church offers regular worship services and can be accessed via the southern portal through a covered walkway or northern entrance connecting to Fuggerschloss.
The church features a remarkable Schneckengang staircase leading to the entrance and houses a crucifix sculpture from around 1520 crafted in a Memmingen workshop within its courtyard.
