History: This impressive church building, the cornerstone of which was laid on 20 May 1899 by Ds Ph.S. Snyman and which was used as a storehouse by British soldiers during the Anglo-Boer War (1899—1902), was only taken into use on 20 May 1904. According to tradition President Paul Kruger donated ten gold pounds towards the building fund. Owing to the lack of membership the church was disbanded in 1951 and was later used by’ the Evangeiisch-Lutherische Gemeinde Paulpietersburg, which sold it to the Municipality in 1969. The building has since been restored and converted into a library.
