In terms of urban development, this church forms a beautiful ensemble with the Reformed Breeplein Church, which is situated diagonally opposite it and also has a large tower.

Roman Catholic CHURCH of Saint Lambertus, built in 1923 and 1924 to a design by the architect Wolter te Riele (1867 - 1937) in neo-Gothic forms. Te Riele had also built the nearby rectory on the Sint-Lambertusweg in 1913. The first drawings for the church date back to the period 1912-1914. It is not entirely clear why the construction of the church ultimately took another 10 years, but it is likely that the uncertain political and financial situation after the outbreak of the First World War played a role in this. Construction began on 17 September 1923. The church was put out to tender for f.62,500. The parishioners themselves did the groundwork from 21 October to 10 November. The first stone was laid on 21 January 1924 and the church was put into use on 13 December of that year. The church was only consecrated on 20 June 1927 by Mgr. AF Diepen, bishop of 's-Hertogenbosch. The small three-aisled village church with a central entrance tower is located on the south side of the Twijnmeer and belonged to the municipality of Boxtel until 1997.

In 1909 by Wolter te Riele (1867 - 1937). designed, in 1910-11 built neo-Gothic CROSS BASILICA, called H. Lambertus, with four-sided entrance tower and polygonal closed choir, with two ditto side chapels and baptismal chapel; adjoining each of the two transept arms a side chapel; belonging to the free-standing parsonage on the right. The tower, each provided with two elongated sound holes and a clock, is crowned by a low lantern with four corner turrets and an octagonal spire, which, like the roof turret, is covered with slates. The church, built of brick, contains pointed arch windows of various sizes with natural stone traceries and a stained glass filling, mostly with simple, geometric patterns, in the choir and transept partly with religious representations. The church is closed off by a combination of saddle, shield and lean-to roofs, covered with slates. The not completely symmetrically designed floor plan is centralising in design, with the side aisles increasing in width in leaps from the entrance and the choir flanked by two polygonal, less deeply extended side chapels; furthermore the hexagonal baptismal chapel and at the transept arms two straight-ended side chapels. The interior, executed in fair brickwork, which is plastered white around the windows and in the vault fields, is covered by net and star vaults at the wide, four-bay central nave and transept, by cross-ribbed vaults at the half-as-deep side aisles, and is divided into three aisles by round brick pillars with wide intercolumns; at the choir articulated pillars. The double-shell clerestory walls are provided with a triforium all around. The neo-Gothic interior also includes: the richly decorated altar, the wooden Marianum, the carved pulpit, supported by St. Lambertus, the painted Stations of the Cross, several colored statues of saints, as well as the confessionals. A church characteristic of the work of the late neo-Gothic architect te Riele, of centralizing design, with a striking tower and well-preserved interior, as such of importance because of its architectural-historical value.

The Sint-Lambertuskerk is a single-nave neo-Gothic church with a facade tower. It was consecrated in 1863 and the architect was J. Werten. In 1930 the church was expanded with low side aisles. The Sacred Heart statue was also placed at that time. The organ possibly dates from 1759, and is said to have been made by Paules van Yesdonk from Gemert.

Beautifully situated beautiful neo-Gothic church with a defining tower, since 1979 (fire H. Verlosserkerk) the highest existing church tower in Rotterdam, at the bottom of the high Oostzeedijk (height of the tower in m to be determined). Replaced an older church from 1802/1830 in the then village of Kralingen, later annexed by Rotterdam. Early work designed by architect EJ Margry. In Rotterdam, this church is in 2023 one of the two remaining neo-Gothic churches that are actively used as a Roman Catholic Church (the other is the St. Hildegardiskerk in the Het Oude Noorden district). Despite a modernization of the interior in 1969, in which, among other things, the pew plan was replaced and the pulpit and communion bench disappeared, the architecture and furnishings have been well preserved in many details. This church contains an important Maarschalkerweerd organ. The church is open every Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00 for viewing, prayer, etc.

Neo-Gothic church with tower.

Roman Catholic church, built in 1843, retaining the 18th-century tower, against which the current choir was built. Three-aisled neoclassical pseudo-basilica. Enlarged westwards in 1956. Internally plastered barrel vaults and Tuscan columns. Very rich main altar in Louis XV style from the second half of the 18th century and two 17th-century side altars. Organ with main work, positive and free pedal, made in 1848 by the Müller brothers from Reifferscheidt (Germany). Restored to its original state in 1987.

The original chapel on this site was founded by Jan I van Cuijk. According to tradition, he did this as penance for his involvement in the murder of the Dutch count Floris V in 1296. The current building was built between 1450 and 1475. At that time, the chapel was still subordinate to the parish church of St. Martin in Cuijk. Around 1550, the church had its own churchwardens and a sexton. Masses were also celebrated there. In short, there was already development towards an independent parish church. And in 1564, the chapel was given that status, but that was over within a century. Because after the Peace of Munster in 1648, the Lambertus Church was closed: in the young Republic of the United Netherlands, the public practice of the Roman Catholic faith was no longer permitted. The church in Linden was closed (due to a lack of Protestants who could use the building). The Catholics from Linden went to church in Kleef or Mook. For a short while, from 1672 to 1674, the people of Linden got their church back from the French. But after their departure, the church lost its function as a place of worship again and was used as a salt storage facility. At the end of the seventeenth century, things became a bit more relaxed: in many places, Catholics built a so-called barn church: an inconspicuous building where people could go to church. In Linden, there was no barn church, but a house church (or church house). In 1698, pastor Verstraten built a church house with a home. A very beautiful kind of clandestine church, which one of his successors would later gratefully use for his seminary.

Roman Catholic Church of St. Lambertus. Gothic building modified by extensions, consisting of a 15th century tower, a three-aisled basilica nave from the beginning of the 18th century, a lower 16th century transept next to which a similar second transept was built in 1911 with eastern choirs, and a deep and low choir in Gothic shapes, also built in 1911. These extensions were designed by the architect F. Ludewig. Flat tower, at the foot of the nave during the construction period, sheathed with a projecting section of brick, interspersed with layers of tuff stone, as also occurs on the nave and transept. In the second section pointed arch niches, in the third pointed arch sound holes; from four- to octagonal constricted slate spire. Buttresses on the side aisles; in the nave walls above alternating windows and niches. Five-sided Mary chapel from 1550 against the west side of the southern aisle. The nave was classically altered internally in 1824, whereby the clerestory is hidden from view by a barrel vault in stucco; cove moulding; arches and capitals (ionic) in stucco. In the old transept star vaults on figuratively sculpted corbels. In the Mary chapel five-sided rib vault, of which the keystones and corbels are decorated with angel figures. Over the tower portal a cross-rib vault on corbels.
