The restored Goetz-Fleischack House was erected for A M. Goetz, Resident Magistrate of Potchefstroom, between 1860 and 1863 and is today the only so-called Karroo-style house in Potchefstroom that has maintained its original appearance. Together with the restored outbuildings on the property, the house therefore forms an important cultural history link with old Potchefstroom.
