Some claim that some parts date from the 12th century. But in general it is assumed that the tower and the old brick church, of which only parts of the walls in the west remain, date from the 14th century, while the choir closed with five sides of an octagon dates from the end of the 15th century. The sacristy against the north side of the choir dates from the 16th century. There used to be a cemetery around the Lambertus Church or Village Church of Oldebroek; nothing of this can be seen anymore. The last burial took place here in 1828. In 1835 it was planted with 58 trees. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
