The Sint Lambertus is a neoclassical church from the 19th century, with the exception of the choir and the sacristy from the 18th century. The church has a baroque main altar from the end of the 17th century. On the altar, the death of Saint Clare is depicted by Maes. The pulpit dates from the first half of the 17th century and is made in Baroque style with late Renaissance motifs. The baptismal font is even older, dating from the 15th or 16th century

Neoclassical church from the 19th century, except for the versatile brick and sandstone choir and the sacristies, which were built in a classicist style and date from the end of the 18th century.

Furniture. Christ on the cross (circa 1600); baroque main altar (end of the 17th century) with painting "Death of Saint Clara" (Maes), small altars with Renaissance decorations on the pilasters and the entablature (second half of the 17th century), provided with provincial canvases in the Rubensian tradition (south side); baroque pulpit with processing of late Renaissance motifs (first half of the 17th century); Gothic baptismal font (15th or 16th century).

Around and on the church you will find - among other things - memorials related to both world wars (one for each war), as well as an information board about events during the First World War (at the front of the church), various gravestones (including those built into the church), a sign with the walks and a commemorative plaque on the wall of the church for a successful emergency landing of a Wellington aircraft in 1945, donated by the Documentation Centre of the 15th Wing from Melsbroek and presented in 1998 in the company of several witnesses to this event and of the then air gunner Melville Livingstone.
