Things to see and do Stellenbosch

A complete site (paper version available at the tourist office) to find out about excursions and areas to visit.

Schreuderhuis is one of the oldest housing estates in the country, the restored houses cover the period from 1709 to 1929. The tour is interesting and well designed. It starts with the most rustic house, the one of the first settlers, and continues with more and more bourgeois and richly decorated houses. You have to cross the street to see house number 3. It is a fun tour because this neighborhood is like an open-air museum that tells the story of the history and art of living over the years and the different classes of people.

Inaugurated in 2005, this beautiful museum of contemporary art opened by the famous South African family offers more than 350 works from the private family collection from 1940 to 1970. You will find local artists, but also works by Rodin or Kathe Kollwitz. The collections are carefully selected. Above all, the museum's architecture and its pretty café are worth a visit. The Ruppert is part of an interesting event dynamic and now offers yoga classes at the museum every Thursday in the Marker Studio.
