The current neoclassical church was built in 1842 after the old Gothic church was in a dilapidated state at the beginning of the 19th century and has a history dating back to the 12th century.
Inside the church, above the altar hangs the painting 'The preaching of Saint Lambert', the patron saint of textile workers after whom the church is named. The altar itself is also special. It contains a bluestone that comes from the mausoleum of Jan III van Poeke, the last descendant of the original Lords of Poeke.
The surrounding cemetery , mainly on the north side of the church, contains gravestones of the lords of the castle of Poeke and offers an overview of grave monuments from the 20th century.
