Beautifully situated beautiful neo-Gothic church with a defining tower, since 1979 (fire H. Verlosserkerk) the highest existing church tower in Rotterdam, at the bottom of the high Oostzeedijk (height of the tower in m to be determined). Replaced an older church from 1802/1830 in the then village of Kralingen, later annexed by Rotterdam. Early work designed by architect EJ Margry. In Rotterdam, this church is in 2023 one of the two remaining neo-Gothic churches that are actively used as a Roman Catholic Church (the other is the St. Hildegardiskerk in the Het Oude Noorden district). Despite a modernization of the interior in 1969, in which, among other things, the pew plan was replaced and the pulpit and communion bench disappeared, the architecture and furnishings have been well preserved in many details. This church contains an important Maarschalkerweerd organ. The church is open every Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00 for viewing, prayer, etc.

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).

These extensions were designed by the architect F. Ludewig. Flat tower, at the foot of the nave during the construction period, sheathed with a projecting section of brick, interspersed with layers of tuff stone, as also occurs on the nave and transept.

The interior features beautiful brickwork that is polychromed here and there.
