Description
The parish of Troisvierges-Weiswampach decided some years ago to use this church as a "family and youth church", changing the traditional seating arrangement in favour of a communal form. The youth choir has its seat here.

Remarkable elements
stained glass windows
St. Gertrude of Nivelles is depicted with mice. Legend has it that her prayers drove away mice and rats.
Most of the stained glass windows are by Camille Croat from the 1950s, a few smaller ones by Gustave Zanter. They depict the typical saints venerated in the Ösling.
St. Lambert
St. Lambert, patron saint of the church, was bishop of Tongern-Maastricht in the 7th century and died as a martyr; the famous St. Lambert's Cathedral stood in Liège.
The northern part of the Ösling belonged to the diocese of Liège until modern times, where this saint is still venerated today.
the old communion bench
The old communion bench, which has been preserved, as well as the balustrades from the gallery show beautiful wrought iron work.
The main altar
It comes from the previous church. On it is a magnificently decorated tabernacle with a display place for the cross or monstrance.
crucifixion scene
This painting probably comes from the former Franciscan church of Troisvierges. It was auctioned off after the French Revolution and reappeared at some point here in this church.
Mother of Sorrows
Mary is depicted here with 7 swords piercing her heart; a symbol of the sufferings she had to go through as the mother of Jesus. A devotional image for the faithful who associate their own sufferings with those of Mary.Nearby
