The current neoclassical church dates from 1842. It was built on the site of an earlier Gothic church. The church is named after Saint Lambert, the patron saint of textile workers. Above the main altar hangs the painting 'The Preaching of Saint Lambert' by Petrus Beernaerts. The main altar contains a stone from the 16th-century bluestone mausoleum of Jan III van Poeke, the last descendant of the original Lords of Poeke. The grave monuments of members of the Preudhomme d'Hailly family are located at the back of the church and on the outside against the choir walls. The organ was built in 1831 by the famous Nevelse organ builder L. Lovaert.
