St. Andrew's Church, Bayonne, Gothic Revival church in central Bayonne, France

The church presents two front towers with a large rosette window above the entrance, following traditional 13th-century Gothic architectural principles.

Construction of St. Andrew's Church began in 1856 with funding from banker Jacques Taurin de Lormand's bequest and reached completion in 1869.

The interior holds notable artworks including the Assumption of Mary by Léon Bonnat and a Holy Family painting by Joseph Pascau.

The church functions as an active parish under the Diocese of Bayonne, Lescar and Oloron, serving the local Catholic community.

The original 74-meter spires were replaced in 1903 by belfry towers after a partial vault collapse caused by swampy ground conditions.
