Église Saint-André, Gothic church on Saint-André Hill, Niort, France

The church features twin towers reaching 70 meters in height and stands as the largest religious structure in central Niort.

Initially built in the 11th century, the church underwent reconstruction in 1855 under architect Pierre-Théophile Segrétain following multiple conflicts.

The interior displays stained glass windows from the Lobin workshop of Tours, depicting the life of Saint Andrew and other religious figures.

Located at 57 rue Saint-André in Niort, the church obtained recognition as a historical monument in 2015.

The building contains one remaining round column from the original Romanesque church near the sacristy door.
