Rust en Vreugd Museum

Built in 1778, the Rust en Vreugd Museum is generally accepted to be the finest surviving example of eighteenth-century urban architecture in the country.

The delicately carved Rococo-styled fanlight above the main door is said to be the work of the German-born sculptor, Anton Anreith.

Complementing this graceful home is the period-style garden.It was declared a heritage site in 1940.
