In South Africa there are many beautiful churches from a bygone era. One of the most well known is in Graaff-Reinet. [1] Church played a very dominant role in Protestant communities, together with the other pillars of the family and the school.

Nature? Guns n' Roses concerts? [1] https://www.graaffreinet.co.za/listing/dutch_reformed_church_groot_kerk https://www.graaffreinet.co.za/listing/dutch_reformed_church...
