| Heritage Analysis | |||||||
| SITE & STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION: | The historic structure is almost incidental to the site, whose activity is focused in the adjacent amphitheatre structure, which houses a weekly farmers' market. The vineyards between the R310 and the buildings create an "agricultural forecourt" to the precinct that plays a gateway role when entering the town of Stellenbosch from the south. | ||||||
| History: |
Deduction from Libertas. The farm was granted to Arnout (Arnoud, Aarnout) Jansz in 1683. Jansz was a German soldier in the service of the Dutch East India Company, who became a freeburgher and was among the first grantees to whom land was promised |
