History

Zijtaart as a church village was officially founded in 1872 when it split off as a separate parish from the :nl:Sint-Lambertuskerk |St. Lambert Parish in Veghel. The church of the :nl:Sint-Lambertuskerk |Zijtaart St. Lambert Parish still bears the original tower cross atop the spire, of the old :nl:Sint-Lambertuskerk |St. Lambert Church of Veghel. The tower cross was presented as a gift by the St. Lambert Parish of Veghel in 1873, which would start the demolition of its old church that following year, because of the completion of a new and larger church.
