At the end of the 2nd World War, disaster struck again in Muizen.
A German V1, ordered for the port of Antwerp, was shot down by the Americans and largely destroyed Sint-Lambertuskerk. Only the church tower is now a silent witness of this war.
The church tower now flanks the new Saint Lambert Church.

The tower of the old St. Lambert's Church in Muizen, 2005. © Focus-In Lint - beeldbankmechelen.be. At the time the treasure was hidden, a small wooden church must have already stood on the site of the current St. Lambert's Church. Its history possibly dates back to the seventh century.
In the eleventh or twelfth century, a stone church was built in its place, modeled on the Palatine Chapel in Aachen and St. John's Church in Liège.
Later, the people of Muizen replaced this church with a Gothic building.
