Saint-André, Romanesque church in central Angoulême, France
Saint-André Church combines a Romanesque front nave with Gothic elements, featuring a neoclassical façade constructed in 1825 by Paul Abadie senior.
In 1020, Count Guillaume II of Angoulême transferred the church to Saint-Amand de Boixe Abbey, leading to the establishment of a priory at this location.
The church interior contains furnishings from multiple periods, including a 17th-century pulpit, 18th-century organs, and painted canvases from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The building maintains its religious function while allowing visitors to explore its architectural features and historical artifacts during designated hours.
The bell tower stands divided into two floors with molded jambs formed by small columns, preserving the only vault that survived the 1568 Protestant attacks.
