Drostdy Road

other

Drostdy Road features a long stretch of whitewashed, Cape Dutch architecture that defines the street's historical character. At the top of this rise, the Drostdy building stands as the former seat of the local magistrate, serving as the administrative heart of the town after its construction in eighteen hundred and nine. Magistrate Johannes Blesser held court here, overseeing the daily governance of the colonial settlement. Later, the structure became the nucleus of the town's prestigious university, evolving into a center for academic life.
