FullStatementOfSignificance:
The Mission Station which is an important place of interest because of both its history and its architectural beauty, was founded in 1808 by Moravian missionaries on the site occupied by the Dutch East India Company's military outpost, "'t Groenekloof", from 1701 to 1791. The original buildings are virtually unaltered; the old farm house (now the parsonage) still has its "holbol" (concave-convex) gable and thatched roof and was certainly built before 1770, and the original gable of the church building bears the date 1818, although later it was slightly altered.
