Vredendal Western Cape Cape West Coast Information

The town Vredendal was named after a peace settlement between two fighting parties in the 17th century. Vredendal is actually part of the old Vreedensdal farm, dating back to 1748 when it was acquired by Pieter van Zyl. The Van Zyl House was build in 1776 and served as the first Church, school, shop and police station. This house was the starting pint of the farming community and the town Vredendal as it is known today. The Van Zyl house was restored and is now a National Monument.

In 1944 the settlement received manage board status and a Roman Catholic Church was opened in 1958. This church not only represented a place of worship, but also served as landmark for the community. An interesting architectural theme resulted here because of superstition. Windows, stairs, arches etc. is in the numbers of three and seven.

The town is situated on the banks of the Olifants River. The irrigation scheme of the Olifants River permits extensive agriculture and viticulture. Various cellars in the area offer export quality wines for sale to visitors. Guide tours of the various cellars can be arranged.
