Church of St. Andrew, Baroque church in Altstadt, Düsseldorf, Germany.
St. Andrew's is a baroque church in Düsseldorf's Altstadt with a distinctive yellow exterior and white and gold decorative elements adorning its interior. The building combines bright exterior color with rich interior ornamentation.
The building was constructed between 1622 and 1629 as a Jesuit church and transitioned in 1708 to serve as the court church for the Counts Palatine of Neuburg. This shift reflected changing religious and political circumstances in the region.
The church displays life-size sculptures of apostles and saints throughout its interior spaces. These artworks shape the religious atmosphere and show how the space was designed to inspire visitors.
The church is open to the public and administered by the Archdiocese of Cologne. Organ concerts take place on Sunday afternoons, offering visitors a chance to hear the instrument in its setting.
The organ was built in 1782 by Peter Kemper with a case designed by Bernhard Orlinski and Josef Zimmermann. The instrument underwent multiple restorations while maintaining its original tonal qualities.
