SAINT-ANDRÉ CHURCH

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

Located in Antrain, the church of Saint-André was built in the Romanesque period, but it has more modern, and therefore Gothic, elements. Some Romanesque vestiges remain: most of the nave, the transept, and an apse in the north. The church and the chevet were restored in the 16th century. The upper part of the bell tower and the sacristy date from the 18th century. The north chapel overlooking the choir dates from the end of the 19th century. The south door of the nave was named "Porte des Femmes" (Women's Door) because it was used by women to get up after giving birth.
