Castle of Good Hope Cape Town
The Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town
The Castle of Good Hope
If walls could talk, this historic building would have lots to tell.
The star-shaped bastion fort is the oldest building in South Africa. It was built between 1666 and 1679, by soldiers, volunteers, slaves and Khoi people who were punished there.
It wasn't the first fort to be built in the Cape. The first was built in the vicinity of the Grand Parade by Jan van Riebeeck, but its clay walls fell apart. After Van Riebeeck left the Cape, Zacharias Wagenaer laid the foundation of the Castle, fearing an attack from the British.
Part of the building was used as a prison during the 2nd Boer War and to this day, the cell still remains open for viewing.
Today, the Castle of Good Hope is considered the most preserved form of Dutch East India Company architecture and it is positioned to become the Cape's next Unesco world heritage site. It is already a provincial heritage site.
The Castle has become a popular tourist destination and is frequently used as a venue for events, markets and exhibitions. It is also one of the stops for the spooky ghost tours in Cape Town.
