Church of contrasts, at least in terms of construction: from the outside in the style of brick Gothic, from the inside it is reminiscent of the classicist style of Italian cathedrals when you enter the round interior and look into the dome-shaped vaulted roof

History

Since the High Middle Ages, the first church stood between the castle and the Oldenburg settlement. It was probably a single-nave Romanesque church. This church was built by the House of Oldenburg, a family of counts who made the castle their residence in the middle of the 12th century. The exact date of its foundation is unknown, but it is likely to be between 1180/81 (return from exile) and 1200. The importance of Saint Lambertus for the House of Oldenburg was also shown in the founding of the Aurich Lamberti Church by the Oldenburg counts around the year 1200.
The first documented mention of an Oldenburg parish priest was in 1237. Pastor Johannes from Oldenburg is one of the witnesses to a transfer of ownership to the Rastede monastery. This indirectly indicates the existence of an Oldenburg church. The church's preserved and occasionally used late Romanesque communion chalice was created in 1265.

St. Lamberti Church is located in the middle of the city between the castle and the town hall. It is the central (and oldest) church in the city and also the church of the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldenburg. In addition to community work, many central services and events take place here. St. Lamberti Church is an open church with lively church music and many offers both for its own parish district and for people from the entire city and the surrounding area.
