History: Built on land granted in 1661, the Valkenburg Homestead is one of the only original homesteads still standing on the Liesbeeck River. It was named after Cornelius Valck who became the owner in 1720. The north wing, with its curvilinear parapet, was added to the original U-shaped house by Cornelius de Waal, who bought the property in 1746. The western section, with its neo-Classical gable, was rebuilt by Cornelius Mostert c. 1815. The farm was subsequently divided in and in 1881 the house and out-buildings became part of the Valkenberg Hospital. The Manor House became the property of the National Monuments Council in 1985. Shortly thereafer it was restored by Rosenfontein Restaurants.
