Dutch Reformed Church, Bredasdorp

The Dutch Reformed Church in Bredasdorp is the 23rd existing congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church. Along the coast between Cape Town and George it is the third oldest parish, after Swellendam (1798) and Caledon (1811), and only about a month older than Riversdale, which was founded in April 1839.

The NG Mission Church was formed in the late 1800s, though only white members were allowed to attend. The Associate Reformed Church was established at the same location in 1914. The two churches remained separate until 20 May 2018.
