William Fehr Collection at the Castle of Good Hope
About the venue
Courtyard
The Castle of Good Hope is a beautifully restored fortress built after 1665 by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). It is Cape Town's oldest building. Housed within its massive stone walls are the magnificent national treasures that make up the William Fehr Collection. It is an artistic mirror of life and culture across Southern Africa and beyond. Superb oils and watercolours, graphics, fine furniture, silver, glass and much more reflect some of the lasting contributions of those who helped make South African history between 1500 and 1900. The Collection has been displayed at the Castle for nearly half a century, while many other pictures and objects are shown at the nearby town house Rust en Vreugd.
The Castle offers a range of original and versatile venues, each with a unique atmosphere. Galleries and rooms of widely differing sizes are suitable for receptions, launches, conferences, luncheons and dinners. Views of Cape Town and Table Mountain from the bastions are simply breathtaking.
A large multi-purpose annex was added in 1994. This venue, in the heart of the historic Bo-Kaap, provides a charming setting for traditional Cape Muslim fare. A partially covered courtyard can also be used during conferences and other gatherings.
