The Dutch Reformed Mother Church of George, built in 1842 from local bluestone. The church is an active congregation and one of the more architecturally interesting buildings in central George. The churchyard is worth a few minutes for the early colonial gravestones. The church is occasionally open to visitors outside service times; check the noticeboard for hours.
Moederkerk
A story
The Dutch Reformed Moederkerk (Mother Church) of George was built in 1842 and is one of the most distinctive church buildings in the Western Cape. The building is constructed from local bluestone in a simplified Baroque style, with a whitewashed interior that is more austere than its exterior suggests. The church is still an active congregation and the surrounding churchyard contains some of the oldest graves in George, several dating from the first decade of the 19th century.
