The church was founded in 1367 as a chapel and in 1395 as a parish church named after Saint Lambertus. In that year, the Utrecht bishop Frederik van Blankenheim gave permission to the believers in Buren to form an independent parish in the Lambertus church.[1][2] In the 15th century, the church was expanded with side aisles and a new main choir and was given its current appearance. The church has a tower with a superstructure in Renaissance style, which was built by Alessandro Pasqualini and Pieter Post. The church was restored in the period 1973 to 1980.

The cathedral of Lanciano was built on the three arches of a Roman bridge built under Diocletian (284-286). In 1088, during the reconstruction work of the bridge after an earthquake, a statue of the Virgin was discovered and given the name of Madonna del Ponte (Our Lady of the Bridge). The statue was a Byzantine icon of the 8th century which was probably hidden in an arch of the bridge during the iconoclasm. The citizens of Lanciano decided to build a church in honour of the Madonna in 1389. It was first called Oratorio di Maria Santissima del Ponte and was later renamed Santa Maria delle Grazie.
