Very simple hall church from 1829 in Waterstaat style with approx. 100 seats. Single manual organ from 1840 by AA Kuerten (Huissen). Demolished in 1933, after the current St. Lambertus church in Engelen was put into use.

Replaced the medieval predecessor destroyed in the Second World War. Large three-aisled hall church with atrium (forecourt), projecting transept and large tower at the side of the choir, provided with a slender openwork, octagonal superstructure. The choir is crowned externally by a lower round tower with spire. Internally provided with a concrete skeleton (pillars, vaults), thus innovative in Romanesque church construction in the 1950s. Highlight in the late oeuvre of AJN Boosten, completed shortly after his death (1951), in freely conceived traditionalist forms, influenced by Romanesque and early Christian architecture. Important modern glazing from the construction period by G. Franssen and J. ten Horn. Also important medieval INVENTORY including: late Gothic holy water font of bluestone; the shutters of a South Netherlandish triptych, 16th century, a series of late Gothic wooden statues, of which the most remarkable are a St. Agnes and a St. Catherine; paintings, some of which originated from and were brought to safety in October 1944 from the previous church, which was destroyed later that year.

St. Lambertus Church. Three-aisled pseudo-basilica with three-sided closed choir, 15th century, extended in 1953 after the destruction of the west tower in 1944. Statue of Christ on the cold stone, 16th century, a crucifix. In the angelus tower a bell by A. Jullien, 1715, diam. 40.3 cm.

Central Roman Catholic church and parish in the centre of Helmond. Very important early neo-Gothic church building with tower. Richly detailed interior with, among other things, a historical organ. This church is comparable to the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, an earlier design by Th. Molkenboer, especially because of the exuberant polychromy.

The church walls connected to the tower are also made of brick with layers of marlstone. Internal barrel vaults and columns with a modern interpretation of the Ionic capital. Tower 1514 and 18th century, demolition of ship 1954 and rebuilding. The Roman Catholic Sint Lambertus Church has been completely provided with stained glass windows since 19 November 2006.

The Holy Lambertus Church is situated on a site surrounded by ditches, accessible via a wooden bridge, with a balustrade and passageway built up in tree branches. The site is planted with various trees. The church, built in 1872-1873, is constructed in a sober Neo-Gothic style. The church was built for the residents of the tenant houses founded by Jonkheer AJA van Rijckevorsel and the service houses belonging to his country house. The houses, which have since been demolished, were leased by the lord for the development of the sanded dune lands (the Staelduin).

The foundation stone was laid on 19 April 1870 and was taken into use by pastor A. Ceelen on 9 January 1873. The church was built in a simple neo-Gothic style. The architect or master builder was HC Dobbe from 's-Hertogenbosch. The basis is a three-aisled cruciform church with transept (transepts and the part in between) and a polygonal closed choir. At the front is a low porch with entrance door. The sacristy has been added on the west side and the transepts have a confessional extension on both sides. All roofs are designed as saddle roofs, only the side aisles have lean-to roofs and the current coffee room has a tent roof. All roofs are covered with slates. On the crossing, the centre of the transept, a square roof turret has been placed with a tower clock, a bell and a wrought iron cross on the spire. There are four small dormer windows in the main roof.

The Saint Lambertus Church is a Roman Catholic church built in 1951.

Large neo-Gothic church with high tower. Main work of architect Van Aalst.

This modern church, which is not included on the list itself, is the successor to a church built in 1829 on Speelheuvelstraat, which in turn replaced a barn church that was opened in 1672 and renovated in 1760. The medieval church, largely dating from 1436, came into the hands of the Reformed Church in 1648, and was demolished in 1870. The following has been taken over in the modern church: a richly carved main altar, ca. 1750, with life-size statues of Franciscus, Jozef, Augustine and Elias, and two altarpieces, 1753 by OE Pirotte, depicting John the Baptist, Anna and Maria. Furthermore, an oak communion bench from 1750, two stone holy water fonts (18th century) in the shape of a vase. Organ with main work and positif, made in 1857 by FC Smits. Restored in 1963 and expanded with a free pedal.
