Eglise Saint-André

Presentation

The Saint-André de Châteauroux church is a late 19th century neo-Gothic church whose proportions often earn it the nickname "cathedral".
About the monument :
"The Saint-André church dates from 1876, it is a work by the architect from the department, Alfred Dauvergne. He gave this building the appearance of a 13th-century Gothic cathedral: 87m long, 33m wide and 68m high with its double spires, there we find all the Gothic architectural vocabulary. Part of its furniture is original and the church also in 2011 recovered a tapestry commissioned by the Archbishop of Bourges for the inauguration in 1876, lost since and mistakenly attributed to the Cathedral of Arras. The stained glass windows are from the Lobin workshop in Tours, except the choir glass panels rebuilt after the bombing of the station in 1944.
Note also the strange mention “”French Republic”” on the main porch reminiscent of the separation between the churches and State in 1905.”
