St Lamberti Church (in German: St Lamberti-Kirche) is the main Evangelical Lutheran church in the centre of the city of Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, Germany.[1][2]

Overview

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.

To the north is the old Rathaus (city hall). To the southeast is Schloss Oldenburg.
