Heroldsbaai Katolieke Kerk (Herolds Bay Catholic Church) is a historical building located in the coastal village of Herolds Bay, near George in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The church was built in 1933, serving the small Catholic community in this fishing and holiday village. Herolds Bay itself was named after the Herold family, early settlers in the area, and the village developed around the bay's natural beauty and fishing industry. The church is a modest structure, reflecting the simple architectural style typical of rural Catholic missions in the region during the early 20th century. It remains a local landmark, though detailed historical records about its construction and early use are limited. The building is part of the broader heritage of George, a town established in 1811, which has several historical churches and buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
