The Sint-Lambertuskerk

The Sint-Lambertuskerk is located at Dorpsstraat 114, 6456 AG Bingelrade, Netherlands. Situated in the heart of Bingelrade, a small town in the province of Limburg, it stands out as a significant landmark in the region.

The original church on this site was built in the 12th century, but unfortunately, it was largely destroyed during World War II. After the war, the current building was constructed between 1952 and 1956 using a combination of traditional materials and modern techniques. The new structure was designed to pay homage to the original church's Romanesque Revival style.

  • The interior of the church includes a beautiful altar piece, ornate wooden pews, and stunning stained-glass windows that allow natural light to illuminate the space.

The church is an active place of worship, hosting regular Sunday services as well as special events and celebrations throughout the year. It is a popular destination for tourists interested in exploring the region's rich history and architecture.
