Fun Western Cape Fact: Stellenbosch is one of the best places in South Africa to take in Cape Dutch architecture. A unique style of building that combines Dutch, French, German and Indonesian design elements, it can be seen in many of the classic farmhouses located along the Stellenbosch Wine Route. Those looking for the best collection of Dutch colonial architecture in Stellenbosch will find what they are looking for along Dorp Street. Originally part of the old road that connected this settlement with Cape Town, many of these structures have been recognized as national monuments. The manors along Dorp Street aren’t the only historic attractions in Stellenbosch, as there are some of the aforementioned stately oak trees that line its streets have also been honored as national monuments. Look for plates declaring them along Dorp and The Avenue.
