The Castle
of Good Hope is the oldest building in South Africa. Built
between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company,
better known as the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie),
this pentagonal fortification replaced a small clay and
timber fort built in 1652 by Commander Jan van Riebeeck,
founder of the maritime replenishment station at the Cape
of Good Hope.
Guided tours are conducted by Castle guides from Monday to Saturday at 11:00,
12:00 and 14:00. Self-guided tours by means of a map in seven (7) different languages
are also on offer.
Traditional ceremonies take place during weekdays. This ceremony
takes place at 10:00 and 12:00 and the Castle Guard performs both these ceremonies. |
