In 1619, the church came into the hands of the Reformation and Lambertus Latonus was appointed as the first minister. Around 1640, the tower was raised, the nave enlarged and raised. The earliest known image of the church is a drawing by C. Pronk from 1732. The nave was demolished in 1861 and completely rebuilt to a design by architect J. van der Toom.

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.

Lanciano Cathedral

Lanciano Cathedral

Lanciano, IT

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.
