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.

Molkenboer, especially because of the exuberant polychromy.

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.
