My Grandfather Alex and my Grandma Heather Hopkins were married in this church. I have visited the church several times. It is a must see when in Paarl

I did not particularly visit the church, but park frequently under the oak trees in frontnof the church, even more so on very hot days seeing that my company office is located in close proximaty.

I came upon the beautiful white building of this church soon after I drove into Paarl from the southern entrance of the city. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, around 1805, the church and the grounds around it are kept in an impeccable state, making a visit here essential. The grounds also have an old cemetary that is worth a few minutes of your time. The tombstones are a who's who of some of the oldest family names of settler families.

The third oldest church in South Africa (after Groote Kerk in Cape Town) and Stellenbosch Moedergemeente. The Strooidakkerk ("Thatched Roof Church) was founded in 1691 and the present church building was inaugurated in 1805. Historic building with contemporary service model. Tourists are invited to visit the church. Sunday service starts at 09:00 - all welcome.
