The church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo has been serving as the parish church of Brunate since 1654.
Its first records date back to the fourteenth century, together with the adjoining monastery now demolished.
Already included in the parish church of Zezio, between the end of the sixteenth century and the middle of the following century it was entrusted to the pastoral care of the Franciscan tertiaries of the hermitage of San Donato di Garzola.
Rebuilt in the 19th century and most recently enlarged between 1914 and 1927 (hence the presence of two facades), the interior features frescoes by the Recchi (family of painters from Como) made at the end of the 17th century; in the vault the patrons Sant'Andrea and San Maurizio are depicted, while in the underlying medallions one can admire St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Bartholomew and the blessed Maddalena Albrici. On the facade of the church are engraved the Latin words FAMVLVS DEI DIGNUS APOSTULUS PETRI GERMANUS ET IN PASSIONE, or in Italian: [Andrea:] servant of God, worthy apostle, brother of Peter even in martyrdom.

Inside the church, in a niche along the right side, there is an altar dedicated to Maddalena Albrici, under which her relics are kept. She abbess of the ancient monastery of Sant'Andrea, she was beatified on 11 December 1907 by Pope Pius X [.
The church also preserves a fresco of Santa Guglielmina, made by Andrea De Passeri, in the past a pilgrimage destination for pregnant women.

Pipe organ
In the church there is also a pipe organ built by the Prestinari brothers of Magenta in 1827 reusing the phonic material of a previous Serassi organ of 1774. Modified during the twentieth century, the instrument, which has 2 keyboards of 58 keys and a flat pedal of 27 notes, it was restored by Ilic Colzani in 2005.
