Church S.Andrea Apostolo

The Church S.Andrea is located in the village of Sandrà north of the town of Castelnuovo, originally of early medieval origins.

Church S.Andrea Apostolo Apostolo It was erected on the basis of two other buildings, one from the early Middle Ages and the other from the twelfth century: there are written records of the first building dating back to the mid-ninth century, but thanks to some fragments of the Lombard tabernacle, its existence can already be hypothesized as early as the eighth century; during the twelfth century the church was rebuilt in Romanesque forms. The current church was built between 1753 and 1770 to a design by the architect Adriano Cristofali in a neoclassical style; the building has a single-nave plan with a quadrangular raised presbytery and a semicircular apse. There you can find an altarpiece by Sant ‘Andrea painted by Brusasorzi.
