The well known Paternoster Hotel is situated on the West Coast of South Africa in the fishing village of Paternoster a 145km from north of Cape Town.

The original building was built in 1863 by the community with limestone from the area. In those days it served as a ‘mall’ with a clothing store, jail/holding cell, entertainment (snooker tables). The present dining room was used for dances and church services and the function hall was an open area used by the local farmers to store their corn.

In 1940 the Tollman family bought the building and turned it into a Hotel. They immigrated to England in 1948 and returned in 1997 for the first time after they left. The Tollman children donated money for the building of a proper community hall which was named after them.
