Église Saint-André de Lille, Baroque Catholic church in Vieux-Lille, France

The stone facade of Saint-Andre church features two superimposed orders, Ionic and Corinthian, with statues of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew by Jules-Victor Heyde.

Construction of the church began in 1701 under architect Thomas-Joseph Gombert, replacing an earlier structure damaged during the 1708 siege of Lille.

The interior holds numerous paintings, including works by Arnould de Vuez and Otto Van Veen, plus a fresco by Joseph Hussenot depicting saints before the Holy Trinity.

Visitors can access the church from Wednesday through Saturday between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM during school vacations, with Metro Line 1 stopping at Rihour.

The Merklin-Schütze organ, installed in 1864, contains 36 stops distributed across three keyboards, contributing to the musical heritage of the church.
