The Dutch Reformed Church in Rhodes village, Eastern Cape, was built in 1898. Rhodes is a small, remote village in the Eastern Cape highlands, near the border with Lesotho, established in the late 19th century during a local gold rush. The church served the Dutch Reformed congregation of the area, reflecting the religious and cultural heritage of the Afrikaner community that settled there. The building is a simple stone structure typical of rural church architecture of the period, and it remains a landmark in the village, which is now a popular destination for hikers and tourists due to its scenic location in the Witteberg mountains.
