The church Saint-André de Blanzay-sur-Boutonne is a religious monument located in the commune of Blanzay-sur-Boutonne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of building, typical of the French countryside, generally served as a place of worship, community gathering and architectural landmark for local inhabitants.
