Origin is a stone church, which forms the ship. In the years 1903-1904 extensive renovations took place. The tower had to be demolished because of dilapidation, since there is a bell tower next to the church.

St. Andrew's Church in Dähre, Saxony-Anhalt, is a Protestant church with a long history. It was first mentioned in 1161 as the "matrix ecclesiae" in connection with the founding of Diesdorf Abbey. Originally used as a provost's church, it is now one of the region's most important medieval sacred buildings. A special feature is a small carved altarpiece dating from around 1500. The shrine depicts a multi-figured crucifixion, while the wings display reliefs of the Nativity, the Veil of Saint Veronica, the Coronation of Mary, and the Lamentation of Christ.

Architecturally, the church is built in the Romanesque style and consists of irregular fieldstone masonry. The elongated nave features two rows of windows, with the upper round-arched windows presumably dating back to the original building. This suggests that the nave was built as early as the 12th century.

Over the centuries, the building has been rebuilt several times, so that today the church combines various architectural styles. The south porch was built before the middle of the 15th century. A later, slightly recessed west tower was demolished after its collapse in 1939. The freestanding bell tower north of the church dates from the 1950s. The polygonal choir and transept were rebuilt in 1903 on medieval foundations.
