Neo-Gothic church with tower.

The foundation stone was laid on 19 April 1870 and was taken into use by pastor A. Ceelen on 9 January 1873. The church was built in a simple neo-Gothic style. The architect or master builder was HC Dobbe from 's-Hertogenbosch. The basis is a three-aisled cruciform church with transept (transepts and the part in between) and a polygonal closed choir. At the front is a low porch with entrance door. The sacristy has been added on the west side and the transepts have a confessional extension on both sides. All roofs are designed as saddle roofs, only the side aisles have lean-to roofs and the current coffee room has a tent roof. All roofs are covered with slates. On the crossing, the centre of the transept, a square roof turret has been placed with a tower clock, a bell and a wrought iron cross on the spire. There are four small dormer windows in the main roof.

Large neo-Gothic church with high tower. Main work of architect Van Aalst.

Neo-Gothic church. The tower was added separately in 1891 to prevent settlement. The tower was blown up by the Germans on 26 October 1944 and after the war it was only restored to the height of the nave and adorned with a saddle roof. The interior features beautiful brickwork that is polychromed here and there.

The church is in fact the successor (in the Catholic sense) of the church of the neighbouring village of Lambertschaag , also dedicated to Saint Lambertus. This church was transferred to Protestant hands during the Reformation , after which the Catholics had to use clandestine churches . In 1816 the clandestine church was replaced by a real church, located on the site of the current church. This church was enlarged in 1854.

Historic church with a tower from the 13th century. The upper part dates from 1842. The interior of the Roman Catholic St. Lambertus Church was restored between mid-January and the end of May 2004. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

Central Roman Catholic church and parish in the centre of Helmond. Very important early neo-Gothic church building with tower. Richly detailed interior with, among other things, a historical organ. This church is comparable to the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, an earlier design by Th. Molkenboer, especially because of the exuberant polychromy.

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.
