Moeder Kerk George
Church in George
The Moederkerk /Mother church was built in 1842. However, the cornerstone was laid ten years earlier on 14 April 1832. Financial issues caused the church to take 12 years to be completed and it was consecrated on 9 October 1842. The church organ was consecrated only in 1879. In 1905 the tower unfortunately collapsed and was rebuilt a year later according to plans drawn by the architect Folkert Wilko Hesse. It was only in 1919 that electric lights were introduced.
