Explore Tulbagh
Tulbagh is the fourth oldest town in South Africa—following Cape Town, Stellenbosch, and Swellendam—with roots tracing back to the early 1700s. Nestled in a scenic valley, the town is renowned for its remarkable collection of Cape Dutch architecture, particularly along the historic Church Street. In 1969, Tulbagh suffered significant damage from a devastating earthquake, but many of its heritage buildings were meticulously restored. Today, the town draws visitors with its unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and thriving wine culture.
