Church of St Lambert, Medieval church in Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, Belgium.

The Church of Saint Lambert stands in Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, near Dinant, Belgium. It is 54 metres long, built of rough grey-beige masonry with a steep grey roof and a tall dark slate spire at one end. A lower side aisle with round-arched windows runs along the near side, and the right end closes in a rounded projection with tall windows and a small round stone turret at its base.

A first church was consecrated here in 1217 by Thierry, suffragan of the Bishop of Liège, on the foundations of an older building. The present Gothic structure dates mainly from the 15th and 16th centuries, and its high tower was completed in 1550. French troops of Henri II sacked the town and burned the church in July 1554; restoration began in 1559. German shelling damaged it on 23 August 1914, repairs followed from 1924 to 1927 under curé Évariste Hayot, and it was bombed again in May 1940.

The Passion Retable, a polychrome wood altarpiece from an Antwerp workshop of the mid-16th century, was given by Bouvignes burghers and installed above the main altar after the 1557 restoration. It now stands on a secondary altar in the south aisle; its painted predella panel, long lost, was recovered in October 2015. The altar itself is the work of Bouvignes cabinetmaker Jean Leuthard.

The site is best explored on foot and offers good views from the street outside; keep in mind it remains an active place of worship so access may depend on service times. Information and tours can be arranged through the Maison du Patrimoine médiéval mosan.

The eagle lectern is carved from wood in the 16th century, not cast in brass in the 17th. It is listed among the church's artistic treasures alongside the 20th-century main altar by Simon Lewi and Piotr Stolowsky and the many statues of saints, including one of Saint Walhère, who was born in Bouvignes.
