St. Andreas, Gothic church in Kalchreuth, Germany

The church features a nave with a recessed Gothic choir, northern Baroque tower, and extensive wooden galleries with mirror vaulting inside.

The first documentation of the church dates to 1390, with the nave constructed in 1471, the choir in 1494, and the tower added in 1788.

The high altar, created in 1498 by the Wohlgemuth workshop, displays intricate carvings of Madonna with Saints Andreas, Wolfgang, Petrus, and Ursula.

The church contains multiple worship areas, including the main nave, choir section, and elevated galleries that accommodate numerous attendees during services.

The church houses a complete set of twelve terracotta apostle figures from 1380, mounted on wooden boards in the left choir area.
