The church in Andelfingen is of medieval historical significance. Remains beneath the present-day church indicate a settlement dating from the 8th century; in the Late Middle Ages, the church was of regional importance.

Andelfingen's historical identity is connected to a crossing of the Thur River, which was expanded in 1324. This crossing made the town a regional customs and trading center. After the former bridge was destroyed in 1799, a new wooden bridge was built in 1814.
