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.

Neo-Gothic church. The tower was added separately in 1891 to prevent settlement. The tower was blown up by the Germans on 26 October 1944 and after the war it was only restored to the height of the nave and adorned with a saddle roof. The interior features beautiful brickwork that is polychromed here and there.

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. This church was transferred to Protestant hands during the Reformation , after which the Catholics had to use clandestine churches . In 1816 the clandestine church was replaced by a real church, located on the site of the current church. This church was enlarged in 1854.

Important modern glazing from the construction period by G. Franssen and J. ten Horn. Also important medieval INVENTORY including: late Gothic holy water font of bluestone; the shutters of a South Netherlandish triptych, 16th century, a series of late Gothic wooden statues, of which the most remarkable are a St. Agnes and a St. Catherine; paintings, some of which originated from and were brought to safety in October 1944 from the previous church, which was destroyed later that year.

The original chapel on this site was founded by Jan I van Cuijk. According to tradition, he did this as penance for his involvement in the murder of the Dutch count Floris V in 1296. The current building was built between 1450 and 1475. At that time, the chapel was still subordinate to the parish church of St. Martin in Cuijk. Around 1550, the church had its own churchwardens and a sexton. Masses were also celebrated there. In short, there was already development towards an independent parish church. And in 1564, the chapel was given that status, but that was over within a century. Because after the Peace of Munster in 1648, the Lambertus Church was closed: in the young Republic of the United Netherlands, the public practice of the Roman Catholic faith was no longer permitted. The church in Linden was closed (due to a lack of Protestants who could use the building). The Catholics from Linden went to church in Kleef or Mook. For a short while, from 1672 to 1674, the people of Linden got their church back from the French. But after their departure, the church lost its function as a place of worship again and was used as a salt storage facility. At the end of the seventeenth century, things became a bit more relaxed: in many places, Catholics built a so-called barn church: an inconspicuous building where people could go to church. In Linden, there was no barn church, but a house church (or church house). In 1698, pastor Verstraten built a church house with a home. A very beautiful kind of clandestine church, which one of his successors would later gratefully use for his seminary.
