The church tower is the only remnant of the Saint Lambert church, which was rebuilt in the 17th century. The previous church was completely demolished during the Wars of Religion in 1570.
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.

About St. Lambert's 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.

In 1255, Muizen officially became an independent parish with St. Lambert as its patron saint.

During the religious unrest of the 1570s, St. Lambert's Church burned down.

A new church was built in its place at the beginning of the seventeenth century. During the following centuries, the church underwent several expansions and modifications.

A German V1 bomb destroyed St. Lambertus Church in November 1944. Only the tower was spared. You can still admire it today, next to the new St. Lambertus Church from the 1960s.
