History

History in Houtkloof, Napier.

If ruins could talk…

Houtkloof was once a flourishing Moravian community, an own school and a church.

But lack of electricity (Eskom ‘forgot’ this area seemingly) and better prospects elsewhere …. etc. etc. …

BUT there is hope. Volunteers are busy restoring the church, the graveyard, school and other building around the church. This complex will be in the center of a pilgrimage route between the Moravian churches in Genadendal and Elim.
