The Bagamoyo Church was built in 1868 and considered to be the
first church in the East Coast of Africa. A cemetery, where the early
missionaries were buried and a small shrine which was built by freed slaves in
1876 are all seen. We are told that between 1934 and 1991, 35 Dutch priests
worked here. The last of this long line of priests from the Netherlands was
Father Frits Versteijnen who stayed in Bagamoyo for 30 years and started the
first museum in the old Fathers’ House in March 1968.
The second Fathers’ House in Bagamoyo, constructed close to the
Mother of all Churches in East Africa, has also fallen victim to the corrosive
effects of the coast region’s relentlessly humid climate. Its ground floor was
built in 1873, the first floor in 1877 and the second floor in 1903.
