Andräkirche, Parish church in Neustadt, Salzburg, Austria

The Andräkirche is a Gothic Revival parish church on Mirabellplatz in Salzburg's Neustadt, built from 1892 to 1898 to plans by Josef Wessicken. Its two towers now reach about 43 metres, their neo-Gothic spires replaced by short pyramids in 1969–1972, and the former red brick walls are plastered. Karl Weiser designed the presbytery, altar and stained glass.

The first St. Andrew's church was consecrated on 29 November 1418 at Linzer Gasse 1, built by Georg Bauer on the order of city judge Martin Reuter for his uncle Hans Reuter. Wolf Dietrich made it a Renaissance building in 1610 and Archbishop Dietrichstein baroqued it in 1748. In 1861 it was shortened and converted into a house; from 1892 Josef Wessicken's Gothic Revival church rose on the former barracks ground behind the razed bastions, consecrated by Cardinal Haller on 20 November 1898.

The church is dedicated to the Apostle Andrew, whose feast day is celebrated on 30 November. The parish has existed since 1811, and the earlier church on Linzer Gasse housed the tomb of donor Hans Reuter with his donor portrait at its centre. The present building was consecrated on 20 November 1898 by Cardinal Haller.

The church stands on the square behind the former bastions, at Mirabellplatz in the Neustadt, a short walk from the Salzach. The two towers now end in short pyramids after the 1969–1972 conversion, and the red brick walls were plastered over then. Look for the dark grey roof covering of 2009–2010.

The 1903 organ by Franz Mauracher had 38 stops, two manuals and a pedal, and was praised by Mozarteum director Hummel and others as the simplest and most durable pneumatic system; within a year poor ventilation left it unplayable and all leather membranes had to be replaced. It was destroyed in the 1944/45 air raids.
