Bredasdorp was founded on the farm Langefontein in 1838, by the Hon. Michiel van Breda, who was the first mayor of Cape Town and a member of the Cape Legislative Council. The old farm homestead together with the old Independent Church alongside, are both national monuments and both buildings today house a unique and fascinating collection of shipwreck memorabilia. The Shipwreck Museum in Bredasdorp, tells the tale of the fate of many a soul who encountered the rough seas

Description : De Volkshuijs is a national monument consisting of two free standing thatched cottages called Sakkie (circa 1780) and Saartjie (circa 1850). Built with raw clay bricks and plastered with ant heap soil, these white washed cottages are restored with sensitivity. They tell the storey of humble dwellings where farm workers worked and lived. For travellers they offer the ideal comfortable base from where to explore Bredasdorp and its surroundings.
