      Statement of Significance

      This oblong stone building that was erected in 1877 was the first Ned. Geref. Church building in Springbok. It was restored in 1899 and served increasingly as a church building until 1921. The adjacent Jewish Synagogue was erected by M. Klawansky in 1929. The buildings were acquired by the Municipality of Springbok in 1982 for museum purposes.
