Dutch Reformed Church, Hofmeyr

South Africa

The Dutch Reformed Church in Hofmeyr is a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church in the north of the area of the NG Church in the Eastern Cape, which had only 138 professing members in 2012 and about 110 at the end of 2015. The center of gravity of the congregation is the town of Hofmeyr on the R390, located 65 km (40 mi) from Cradock and 46 km (29 mi) from Steynsburg. The church is painted in a coral pastel color, which some perceive as pink, due to a combination of factors including the presence of other buildings in pastel colors in the town at the time of its first painting, and an artist's advice to match the color of the local red lime scale and coral sunsets.
