Sint-Lambertuskerk (St. Lambert's Church)

Located at Markt 4, 4116 BE Buren, Netherlands.

The church was founded in 1367 as a chapel and was referred to as parochiekerk in 1395, named after Saint Lambert.

Utrechtse bisschop Frederik van Blankenheim granted permission for the faithful of Buren to form their own parish in the Lambertuskerk.

  • The church underwent expansion with side chapels and a new main choir in the 15th century, gaining its current shape.
  • The tower features a Renaissance-style upper structure built by Alessandro Pasqualini and Pieter Post.

The church was restored from 1973 to 1980. The church tower was restored again in 1990.

  1. The Bätzorgel dates back to 1852.
  2. A statue of Willem van Oranje and Anna van Buren stands before the church.
  3. Since 2014, the church has been owned by Stichting Oude Gelderse Kerken.
  4. The current church building, featuring a mix of Gothic Revival and Renaissance styles, was constructed in 1846 after the original building was demolished during the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648).

The church is an active place of worship for the local community and hosts various services throughout the week.
