Neo-Gothic church. The tower was added separately in 1891 to prevent settlement. The tower was blown up by the Germans on 26 October 1944 and after the war it was only restored to the height of the nave and adorned with a saddle roof. The interior features beautiful brickwork that is polychromed here and there.

The church is in fact the successor (in the Catholic sense) of the church of the neighbouring village of Lambertschaag , also dedicated to Saint Lambertus. This church was transferred to Protestant hands during the Reformation , after which the Catholics had to use clandestine churches . In 1816 the clandestine church was replaced by a real church, located on the site of the current church. This church was enlarged in 1854.

The Sint Landelinus Church in Empel was built in 1948–1949 to a design by the Tilburg architect NH Pontzen (1919–1979) in reconstruction style. The church is located in the centre of Empel, the village rebuilt after the Second World War that is located slightly further from the Maas than the original ribbon village of Empel along the Maas. The Sint Landelinus Church and an associated rectory were built to replace the neo-Gothic Landelinus Church in Oud Empel, which was destroyed in November 1944. The Sint Landelinus Church and rectory have a traditionalist design influenced by the Bossche School. The church is designed according to the pseudo-basic type with a high square crossing tower and adjacent side chapels. Christocentric: the altar is located centrally in the crossing, which is externally crowned by a heavy tower. Behind this is a shallow five-sided apse extension. In 1996, an extension was added to the sacristy. The church has, in accordance with the basilica spatial division, a central nave with side aisles. The central nave is very wide and has benches on either side. The side aisles function as walkways and procession corridors. The central nave reaches to the triumphal arch wall that marks the connection to the high choir located under the crossing tower. At the end of the side aisles, on either side of the choir, are chapels. The church contains, among other things: Stations of the Cross by E. Deckers; a cross by Albert Termote; a statue of Antonius Abt by Frans van der Burgt and a triptych by L. Wiegman, which depicts the so-called Miracle of Empel (1585).

The church of St. Laurentius was donated by Prince-Bishop Balderic II of Liège (1007-1018), together with the tithes of Bemelen, to the chapter of Our Lady in Maastricht. This donation was confirmed by Pope Adrian IV in 1157. It was the mother church of the St. Martinus parish in Wijck-Maastricht. Parts of the east wall of the marlstone, unarticulated tower date back to the 12th century, the rest dates from around 1350. The current spire dates from around 1760. The former church was replaced in 1845 by a neoclassical church, probably designed by Mathias Soiron. The church was restored in 1976. Mathias Soiron died in the year the church was built and is buried against the church wall, to the right of the entrance. {Source: [1] }
