Local church in Strydenburg 

On the verge of a large pan filled with salty water during the rainy years, Strydenburg (the town of strife) received its doleful name after incessant squabbling over - of all things - the town’s name! Strydenburg was laid out by the Dutch Reformed Church on the farm Roodepan in 1892.
