FullStatementOfSignificance:
The historical mission centre of Elim dates from 1824 when the Moravian church purchased the farm Vogelstruys Kraal and started laying out the mission station. The farmhouse was adapted as a parsonage and with the rapid economic growth a mill was built towards towards 1830. The church was originally erected in 1835 and enlarged in 1865. All the buildings in the historic mission centre of Elim form a harmonious whole and a unique architectural group.
