Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Groote Kerk (Afrikaans and Dutch for "Great Church") is a Dutch Reformed church in Cape Town, South Africa. The church is South Africa's oldest place of Christian worship. The first church on this land was built in 1678. Willem Adriaan van der Stel laid the cornerstone for the church. It was replaced by the present building in 1841 built by Herman Schuette and the original tower was retained. The pulpit is the work of Anton Anreith and the carpenter Jacob Graaff, and was inaugurated on 29 November 1789. The Groote Kerk lays claim to housing South Africa's largest church organ, which was installed in 1954

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)

Die NG gemeente Kaapstad (of Groote Kerk soos hy na sy kerkgebou genoem word) is die oudste gemeente van die Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk in Suid-Afrika, alhoewel kerkhistorici van die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk in Afrika beweer dat die kerk vanaf 1652 tot en met 1824, die Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk geheet het. Dit is egter nie histories korrek nie, aangesien die benaming "Hervormde Kerk" eers in die tweede helfte van die 18de eeu geleidelik begin posvat het via die Nederlanse letterkunde wat voorkeur verleen het aan die benaming Hervormde eerder as Gereformeerde. Dit is dus die moedergemeente van al die NG gemeentes.
