St. Andreas Church

St. Andreas Church is a listed building in Ostönnen. Its Gothic organ is one of the oldest playable organs in the world, probably dating from the first half of the 15th century. The church in Ostönnen was first mentioned in a document in 1169. Excavations have revealed the existence of two earlier churches. While the west tower dates from the first half of the 12th century and comes from an earlier building, the older nave was replaced in the second half of the 12th century. In 1979, the entire building was plastered and repainted in the presumed original colour.
