JOURNEY OF CHURCHES

The Dutch Reformed church in Oudtshoorn is an Otto Häger design and dates back to the high days of ostrich feather boom. It is a beautiful sandstone building.

St. Francis Xavier Church in Melacca, Malaysia was built in 1856, in honour of St. Francis Xavier, a prominent 16th-century Catholic missionary.  The church was believed to be modelled after the Cathedral of St. Peter in Southern France, Montpellier, which followed closely the older church’s original construction, except for a portico which was later added in 1963.   To date St Francis Xavier Church still serves its function as a Catholic church, with regular mass services.
