St. Andreas, Religious architecture monument in Norf, Germany.

St. Andreas is a single-nave rococo hall church built 1765–70, with rounded corners and four large round-arched windows on each side, framed in natural stone. Pilasters divide the red brick walls. A small six-sided slate roof turret sits on the grey slate roof. The stepped three-storey tower on the north side has a baroque stone portal, an inscription dated 1765, and a niche holding a modern St. Andrew figure since 1988.

St. Andreas was built 1765–70 as a single-nave Rococo chapel for the noble women's convent that Hofrat Carl Dominicus Schwartz had installed at Schloss Müggenburg, following plans by surveyor Johann Nosthoffen; it was consecrated in 1772 to Mary and Joseph. The convent ended in 1794, and in 1820 the Norf parish took over the church after abandoning the dilapidated Alt-St. Andreas, rededicating it to St. Andrew. The north tower was added in 1857/68, side aisles in 1903 and 1913 by architect Klaus Röhlinger, and the 1769 rectory was absorbed as the sacristy.

The church was built as a private chapel for the noble women's convent that Court Councillor Carl Dominicus Schwartz established at Müggenburg Castle around 1765. When the convent closed in 1794 and the old village church was abandoned, the parish took over the building in 1820 and rededicated it to Saint Andrew. Inside, the figures are grouped by colour: the white saints, the golden saints beneath the organ loft, and the colourful saints Andrew and Matthias by the sacristy door.

St. Andreas stands on Kirchstraße in Norf, its stepped tower facing the street with the gabled porch at its base. The entrance is on the tower side, where the baroque stone portal carries the year 1765 and a niche figure of St. Andrew above it. Inside, the flat white ceiling and the narrow side aisles added in 1903 and 1913 make the space easy to read in one walk-through.

The tower's baroque stone portal has an empty niche above it; until the Second World War it held a baroque stone Madonna, and in 1988 a modern figure of St Andrew was placed there. Below it an inscription gives the year 1765.
