RE: The 3rd oldest town in South Africa!
Swellendam looks stunning, and that gorgeous church building looks like the grand dame of the town!

@lizelle Thank you Lady Lizelle and they call her the Mother Church. The church was established at a much earlier date on a patch of ground in a flimsy building, which was broken down and replaced with a stronger structure and finally in 1910 it was decided to build this church. Of course the church was at the centre and the town was built around it. What a great story! Blessings!
