Statement of Significance

The gateway and gates which were erected at about 1769 as part of the Drostdy at that time, are situated on the most historic site in Stellenbosch. This site has associations with Simon van der Stel and the respective Drostdy buildings were formerly also situated here until, in 1859, they became the seat of the Theological Seminary.
