KERKPLEIN - CHURCH SQUARE
Hierdie plein is deel van Swellendam se voorgeskiedenis.
In die ou dae was dit die markplein, en kerkgangers van
buite kon hul kar-en-perde hier uitspan, of die naweek
in "tuishuise" regs oorbly

This square is part of the history of Swellendam. In
days gone by it was the market square where people
from the outlying district could outspan their horses and
carts when attending Church or spending a week-end in
their townhouses nearby.
