Mheer Castle is a picturesque castle located in the village of Mheer in South Limburg, the Netherlands. The current building dates from the 14th century and has been renovated several times over the years, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful park and was the center of a manor for centuries. Although it is privately owned and not open to the public, it can be easily admired from the outside.

The St. Lambertus Church is a church building in Mheer, in the Dutch South Limburg municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. The church is located directly next to Mheer Castle and stands on the highest point in the village. To the west of the church lies the castle, separated from it by a dry moat. South of the church runs the driveway to the bridge over the moat and the castle gate. North of the church is the cemetery. And northeast of the church is a square where the annual May tree is planted. Roads from Noorbeek, Banholt, and Sint Geertruid converge in front of the church. The church stands on a ridge of the Margraten Plateau, and south of the castle lies the Horstergrub dry valley.

The current church building dates from 1876-1881 and is built in the Neo-Gothic style with simple brickwork. It is a single-nave cruciform church crowned with a constricted spire. The church also features wooden barrel vaults and a three-sided, closed choir. The church tower stands on the east side, and the choir faces west.

In the churchyard next to the church is the burial chapel of the De Loë family, a cruciform marlstone building in Neo-Gothic style, designed by Carl Weber and built around 1864. It is crowned by a fioel and surrounded by arched buttresses.

The church is a national monument and is dedicated to Saint Lambert and Saint Sebastian. On the Sunday closest to their feast days (September 17 and January 20, respectively), a village fair is held. On the Sunday after Pentecost, the Corpus Christi Procession, locally called the "Broonk," is held.
