Eglise Saint-André du Teich

The parish and the church of St. Andrew of Teich appeared around the year 1300 and were the property of Captal de Buch. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, underwent at least three alterations, the last one in the years 1922/1924, being a complete transformation because the big tower of the bell tower was threatening ruin. In the interior decoration we find the symbols of the country: apples and pine needles. The modern stained-glass windows, with a good archaic design, were donated by the most eminent families of Ticino. The church houses a listed 17th century polychrome wooden statue of Saint James the Pilgrim, as well as a wooden virgin whom the sailors implored when they ran out of sardines.
