Origin and history

The church of Saint-André de Montgiscard, listed as a Historic Monument, is an emblematic 15th century building located in the commune of Montgiscard, Occitanie. Built in bricks, it is characterized by a steeple-façade flanked by two octagonal turrets, one of which houses a spiral staircase. This bell tower, divided into two floors separated by a brick cord, is surmounted by decorative niches, adding a defensive dimension to its architecture.

The church's pentagonal abside is vaulted on a dogive cross, enriched with ivy and thirdrons, typical elements of late Gothic architecture. The building was listed in the Historical Monuments Inventory by order of 18 November 1926, highlighting its heritage value. Owned by the commune, the church remains a major architectural testimony of the Toulouse region, marked by the use of brick as a dominant material.

The location of the church, at the 1 Grand-Rue in Montgiscard, is documented in the Merimée base, with geographical accuracy considered to be satisfactory a priori. Its state of conservation and accessibility (visits, events) are not specified in the available sources, but its registration under the Historical Monuments guarantees legal protection and recognition of its cultural importance.
