The Church of Saint Andrew stands on the Rue de Binsfeld in Troisvierges, in the north of Luxembourg, and is dedicated to the apostle Andrew. Its history begins with the Franciscans: in 1629 Godfried von Eltz gave them a chapel on this spot.

In 1640 the Franciscans built a church here, consecrated in 1658. During the French Revolution the friary was suppressed in 1796 and both church and furnishings were sold at auction; only in the nineteenth century did the building return to use. In 1924 the portal and tower were raised to the design of the architect Jean Schoenberg. It is an oriented church with a long single nave and a three-sided choir; the square tower is crowned by an onion-shaped spire.

Listed as a monument since 1963, the church received in 1969 an abstract stained-glass window by Gustave Zanter, which lends a contemporary note to this old Franciscan sanctuary.
