St. Andreas, Church building in Nesselwang, Germany.

St. Andreas is the Catholic parish church of Nesselwang, rebuilt in Neo-Baroque style from 1904 to 1906 to designs by Ferdinand Schildhauer. Its cream facade has grey banding, a curved gable with a cross, three tall arched windows, and a red-tiled roof. A 54-metre tower with a dark onion dome and clock rises on the left, flanked by two smaller domed towers. Inside, a white vaulted ceiling with green floral motifs and framed frescoes covers a nave with a high altar framed by reddish-brown columns and carved gold-and-white side altarpieces.

A first late-Gothic St. Andreas church with an octagonal choir was built in the early 15th century and destroyed during the Thirty Years' War; it was rebuilt provisionally in 1642. A new church by Wessobrunn master Johann Schmuzer replaced it in 1683–1685, consecrated on 20 May 1685. After the nave was lengthened in 1698–1700, the tower was rebuilt in 1748 by Franz Xaver Kleinhans to its present height of 54 metres. The neo-Baroque church by Ferdinand Schildhauer was begun in 1904 and consecrated on 10 September 1906.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community, particularly during worship services and seasonal celebrations. The dedication to St. Andreas reflects a religious tradition that has shaped daily life in Nesselwang for generations.

The church stands in the centre of Nesselwang, built around the tower of its predecessor, which was retained when the old nave was demolished in 1904–1906. The tower, rebuilt by Franz Xaver Kleinhans in 1748 to a height of 54 metres, is the oldest surviving part. The interior was cleaned of heavy soot between 1995 and 1997.

The lower third of the tower, about 11 metres high, survives from the earlier church; Franz Xaver Kleinhans rebuilt it to its present 54-metre height after a storm in 1748. Inside, the 1954 recolouring of parts of the originally white stucco was kept during the 1995–1997 cleaning.
