The charming little town that honours the memory of the French reformer was founded in 1845 at the foot of the Hantamsberg. For the record, John Calvin, born in 1509 in Noyon, wrote theInstitution of the Christian Religion as a solemn affirmation of the sovereignty of God, the sole master of man's salvation through predestination. The sense of space and freedom is truly inspiring in this town, drowned in flowers in late winter and spring and surrounded by merino sheep. A real paradise, lost in the inner solitudes. Dare to visit Calvinia, you won't regret it... if you like wide open spaces!
