Sint-Lambertuskerk

The Sint-Lambertuskerk stands as a neo-Romanesque structure with a cruciform plan, featuring red brick walls and natural stone decorative elements throughout its exterior.

Built in 1916, this church represented the first religious building constructed outside the Medieval city walls of Maastricht, positioned in the former Hoge Fronten fortification area.

The church bears the name of Saint Lambert, a significant religious figure who served as bishop of both Maastricht and Liège during the 7th and 8th centuries.

Following extensive renovations between 2010 and 2012 that cost 12 million euros, the building now functions as laboratory space, event venue, and residential quarters.

The structure experienced subsidence problems shortly after its construction, requiring repairs within its first decade and continued maintenance throughout its existence.
