St Paul's Church in De Aar, Northern Cape, was built in 1887 as an Anglican church, serving the spiritual needs of the growing railway community. De Aar itself was established in the late 19th century as a key railway junction on the line between Cape Town and the interior, with the railway arriving in 1881. The church is a modest stone structure, reflecting the architectural style of the period, and is one of the oldest buildings in the town. It has been a landmark in De Aar for over a century, though specific details about its construction or congregation are limited in public records.
