History: This property originaly formed part of "De Nieuwe Molen", which was granted to the Landdros and Heemrade in 1750. In 1797 it became the property of Johannes Victor, who almost immediately erected the original H-shaped Cape Dutch house. In the second half of the nineteenth century the building was converted to a Georgian double-storey residence. Together with the outbuildings
and the garden ring-wall it forms an outstanding group of buildings from the point of view of architecture and town planning and constitutes an integral part of the street scene of Dorp Street and the historic core of Stellenbosch. The old-world garden with its tranquil atmosphere which is partly due 10 the mill-stream, is an aesthetic gem which fits in with the unique group of properties surrounding Voorgelegen.
