Sint-Lambertus basilica, Minor basilica in central Hengelo, Netherlands.
Sint-Lambertus basilica is a neo-Gothic church building in central Hengelo featuring a prominent tower and typical architectural elements of the style throughout its design. The structure displays characteristic details such as pointed arches, decorative stonework, and vertical lines that define the neo-Gothic period.
A chapel dedicated to Saint Lambert originated in the 14th century near Huis Hengelo and was replaced by a stone church around 1500. The current neo-Gothic structure was built later and has shaped the town's appearance since its completion.
The basilica holds regular Sunday services at 11:00, offering children's liturgy sessions and maintaining an active choir school for young participants.
The building sits in Wemenstraat in the town center and is easily reached on foot from most areas. Visitors can admire the exterior anytime, though services happen at specific times.
During World War II, this building survived heavy bombing in surrounding areas with minimal damage to its structure. This makes it a rare example of a place that endured the conflict largely unscathed.
