Saint Lambertus Church

The St. Lambertus Church in Overlaar, a hamlet of Tienen, is one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the country. The church was built in Gobertange style and quartzite. The church contains a pre-Romanesque rectangular nave from the 10th century, a Romanesque choir from the 12th century, a square west tower from the 13th century, and a stair tower from the 16th century. The church was protected as a monument in 1976. The surrounding area is also a protected landscape. The restoration of the 19th-century organ, built by the Tiense organ builder P.A. Van Dinter and protected since 1981, was completed in 1990. The building's physical condition is currently very poor.
