Dutch Reformed Church, Matara
The Dutch Reformed Church is located within the Matara fort in Matara and is situated near the entrance to the fort. The church was built by the Dutch in 1706 and is a smaller version of the church in Galle fort. It is one of the oldest Protestant churches still in use in the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Projects )〕
==History==
The church was consecrated on 6 October 1706,〔 according to an inscription over the doorway. During subsequent repairs and improvements this date has been obliterated and another date, that of 1767 was etched above the entrance. This date however refers to the reconstruction of the church by the Dutch following the Matara Rebellion. The (Dessave ) (Dutch: ''opperkoopman'') at that time was Daniel Burnat. The church may have existed prior to 1706. There is evidence of greater antiquity in the gravestones, which pave the floor of the church. The oldest of the gravestones is of Barbara Jongeling, the wife of Lambert Lambertijn, the medical officer of the station in 1686.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Matara Church )〕 Other gravestones include, Dessaves Frans Willem Falck, father of Governor Iman Willem Falck, and Johannes Fernandinus Crijtsman, in 1737 and 1758, respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Matara Church )〕
The Church was primarily for the Dutch but the first Sinhala sermon was held when a Church service was organised for the housemaids of the Dutch community who brought them to the Church and stayed on the verandah until the service was over.
