      Statement of Significance

      The outstanding La Motte manor house, which was probably during the fifties of the eighteenth century by Gabriel du Toit, is a T-shaped building with a concavo-convex middle gable and attractive facade. The manor house, together with the "jonkmanshuis", the wine cellar and the mill, constitutes a unique historical and architectural group.
