Store Andst is a village in Vejen Municipality of Southern Jylland, Denmark with a population of 805 (1 January 2024).[1]

Andst Church (Andst Kirke) is the parish church located on a hill in the middle of the village. The large granite square building probably dates from the last decades of the 12th century. In 1592 the tower was built with the peculiar onion spire. It was added to the church by Caspar Markdanner lensman at Koldinghus, at the request of parish priest Jon Jensen Kolding. [2][3]
