De Oude Kerk is one of the last churches where cruciform architecture is still intact. It was built in 1743 by the VOC (Dutch East India Company).
It houses a unique collection of artefacts from the Dutch period and is adjacent to the historic cemetery.

The museum complex consists of four historic buildings: De Oude Kerk, Victorian Period House, Cape Dutch Pioneer House and the Earthquake Museum.
All these buildings are situated in Church Street in Tulbagh.
