Sankt Andrä was first mentioned in 1140 in a deed of donation to the monastery of Klosterneuburg. From 1185 until 1803 it was a possession of the bishopric of Passau. In 1972 the communities of St. Andrä vor dem Hagentale, Wördern, Greifenstein, Hintersdorf and Kirchbach were merged into the new municipality of St. Andrä-Wördern.

The church Sankt Andreas is the Catholic parish church of St. Andrä vor dem Hagentale [centre]. The parish was founded around 1090 by bishop Altmann of Passau. It became the seat of a chorepiscope and was the mother parish of Langenlebarn, Tulbing, Königstetten, Zeiselmauer and Mauerbach. Parts of the church date back to the Romnesque period. The three-aisled nave in Gothic style dates from the 14th century. The church tower and the chapel of St. Thomas also date from the Gothic period. The church was severely damaged in 1683 during the Ottoman invasions, but was repaired thereafter with Baroque additions.
