Description
St. Andrew's Church in Châteauroux is a Neo-Gothic place of worship with twin towers rising prominently from its front. The building features a long interior with tall windows that flood the space with light and a richly decorated layout filled with religious artwork and furnishings.
History
The church was built between 1870 and 1876 by architect Alfred Dauvergne and builder Geoffroy Talichet. It emerged during a time when Châteauroux was expanding and developing new parts of the city.
