The original church of San Andrés de Linares was built along the Nalón River, but was razed in the early 19th century because of flooding. Another church was built across the river, believed to be safe from another possible flood. It was destroyed in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War. Construction of a new church began in 1945 in the El Entrego valley during the autarky period. The architects were Francisco de Zuvillaga and Abelardo Suárez Moro.
