Strooidak Kerk (Church) - Paarl, Cape Winelands
The Strooidak Kerk (Church), also known as the Paarl Strooidak Church, is a historic church located in Paarl in the Western Cape. The church’s name, “Strooidak,” which means “thatched roof” in Afrikaans, reflects its unique design and traditional Cape Dutch architecture, including a thatched roof and gabled façade.
It is a popular church in Paarl and is very active within the community. It is a popular venue for a perfect wedding ceremony. It is the third oldest congregation in South Africa and the oldest church building in the country. In 1691 permission was given for the Huguenots to have their own congregation. The vision of this congregation is: "We join together in the glory of the Holy Trinity, in support of one another and to bear witness in this world." It is a spiritual congregation today. The inaugural address at the consecration of this church was delivered in 1805. To the left of the church is a church bell which was added in 1811 and the graveyard was laid out in 1820. This church holds a lot of history and is a very interesting visit.
Today, the Strooidak Church remains an active place of worship and is a designated heritage site, drawing visitors interested in its architecture and historical significance.
