The St. Andreas parish in Kwintsheul was founded on 10-9-1890 by separation from the parishes of Wateringen and Poeldijk. In 1870-1871 a three-aisled neo-Gothic auxiliary church with wooden clerestory was built there (tender 19-7-1870, laying of the foundation stone 10-9-1870). In 1872 a half-built-in tower was added. This auxiliary church was demolished in 1893. The current three-aisled neo-Gothic pseudo-basilica with a beautiful tower by architect JH Tonnaer was built in 1893 (laying of the foundation stone 16-3-1893, consecrated 21-9-1893). In 1951 the chancel was replaced by N. Molenaar jr. by a larger, straight-closed east section with transept (first stone laid 18-1-1951, consecrated 30-10-1951). In 1967 the altars and pulpit were removed. The Stations of the Cross were made by Max Weiss.
