Overview
The church is named after Lambert of Maastricht. The church is the preaching venue of the bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldenburg.
The church dates from the 13th century and was renovated in the 19th century. It was originally built as a Romanesque hall between 1155 ad 1234. Subsequently, it was altered several times. The outside hides a rotunda-style basilica, based on the Pantheon in Rome.
