Description
This illustrated book documents the history of Boschendal, one of South Africa’s historic wine farms, situated in the Drakenstein Valley between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. The farm was granted to the French Huguenot Jean le Long in 1685 and later became associated with the de Villiers family, who developed the property and built its Cape Dutch manor house. The book explores Boschendal’s historical development and architectural heritage, recording the estate’s place in the agricultural and cultural history of the Cape Winelands. Published by Boschendal Limited in 2007, it is a valuable reference for readers interested in Cape Dutch architecture, wine-estate history and South African heritage. - Slipcase included
