The NG Kerk (Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk) in Colesberg, Northern Cape, is a historical church building whose congregation was established in 1836. The town of Colesberg itself was founded in 1830 on the farm 'Hardeveld' and named after Sir Lowry Cole, the then Governor of the Cape Colony. The church building, completed later, is a notable example of early Cape Gothic revival architecture, featuring a distinctive spire and local stone construction. It served as a central religious and social hub for the Dutch Reformed community in the Karoo region during the 19th century.
