Saint Lambert Church - Mozet

A church was mentioned as early as 1188, but the current church was rebuilt in 1775 in simple Renaissance style.

A reused key , taken from the old church and inscribed with the date 1775, is integrated into a window in the west gutter wall of the nave.

A rare feature is that the tower rises behind the choir . Some tombstones from the 18th century have been built into the pavement of the church.

At the entrance with the arched gate there is a beautiful mosaic from 1928 by the artist Joseph Claes de Namur depicting Christ on the cross , a work created together with Jules Lalière for the stone frame.

The church is surrounded by the walled cemetery.

The high altar , at the back of the choir, has an altarpiece with a painting depicting the martyrdom of Saint Lambertus, a dove of the Holy Spirit and a crucifix as a crown.

In the ambulatory, ten small arms plaques recall the former lords and professions that were or are practiced in Mozet.
The pulpit , which comes from a chapel (or from the Saint-Loup church in Namur), dates from the 17th century.
