Constantia
The Groot Constantia homestead, Constantia, S.Af.
At the Groot Constantia museum, visitors can see antique Cape stinkwood furniture. The Groot Constantia homestead, a prime example of Cape Dutch architecture, was originally built around 1685 and has since been restored to serve as this museum. The homestead itself is noted for its elegant gables and sober form, reflecting a long-standing farming tradition associated with South African wine. Today, Groot Constantia continues its legacy as a working vineyard, blending winemaking with tourism to bring local history to life.12
