A well known landmark from the N3 highway as you bypass the sleepy little town of Warden. Do a diversion and come see this magnificent old building, and grab a caqche while you are at it.
Warden has one of the largest Dutch Reformed sandstone Churches in South Africa, built in 1917 but only completed in 1923 after the local farmers sold off 600 sheep and 1500 head of cattle to subsidize its completion. The Church is larger than the Sydney Opera House with seating for 1,750 persons. It is said that the sandstone contains various fossils like shell and little sea creatures proving that the area was under sea water at some stage.
