      Very nice little church that is typical for the Limburg region and thus gives the region its beautiful charm.

        Close to Vaals is the small town of Holset, which is considered the oldest of the four church villages in the municipality of Vaals. On a hill lies the small church dedicated to St. Church dedicated to Lambert of Liège. He is said to have visited Holset in 692. Through his blessing, he caused poisonous water from a nearby spring to become delicious drinking water, which still bubbles up at the foot of the church hill in the so-called Lambertus fountain. Between 700 and 800 a small church dedicated to the Holy One was built here on the site of an earlier Eburone temple. The hall church dedicated to Lambert was built of wood and in connection with a visit by Emperor Lothar III. Replaced by a stone chapel in 1136. Parts of the old masonry can still be seen today. In the years between 1884 and 1887, the then pastor J. S. H. Slenter had a Genoveva chapel with a devotional picture of St. Grow Genoveva.
