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.

This modern church, which is not included on the list itself, is the successor to a church built in 1829 on Speelheuvelstraat, which in turn replaced a barn church that was opened in 1672 and renovated in 1760. The medieval church, largely dating from 1436, came into the hands of the Reformed Church in 1648, and was demolished in 1870. The following has been taken over in the modern church: a richly carved main altar, ca. 1750, with life-size statues of Franciscus, Jozef, Augustine and Elias, and two altarpieces, 1753 by OE Pirotte, depicting John the Baptist, Anna and Maria.

The Saint Lambertus Church is a Roman Catholic church built between 1878-1880. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

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.

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.
