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. Inventory: carved wooden communion bench from 1759; oak pulpit from around 1750; organ case and organ stand from the first half of the 19th century as well as the organ, a two-manual instrument made in 1850 by FC Smits from Reek. Wooden statue of Mary by Walter Pompe, 1751. Painting by MS Vos, 1591, depicting the Lamentation of Christ; 16th century wooden crucifix. Brass chandelier, two six-lights.

On the tower of the church is a large sundial, painted on a stone slab built into the wall.

The church building was designed by the Nijmegen architect Hendrik van de Leur (1898-1994). It was built by the company de Bonth-van Hulten from Nieuwkuijk. The consecration took place on 16 August 1954 by mgr. Mutsaerts, bishop of Den Bosch. The original design included two towers on the corners of the front. This was not implemented in the final version; the south work has a diagonally placed central tower as a crowning feature. In addition to the chancel, an angelus bell in a small tower. The exterior of the nave is designed as a pseudo-basilica; however, the central nave has no windows and is only a few decimetres higher than the roof of the side aisles. Internally, the nave is vaulted with a stone barrel vault, supported by brick arches. The arches rest on brick pillars with natural stone accents. Low transepts, accentuated in the interior by the use of concrete pillars.

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.
