Tulbagh’s rich history
Tulbagh is one of South Africa’s oldest towns, founded in 1699 and nestled in a valley of heritage and beauty. Church Street is home to the country’s largest collection of restored Cape Dutch, Edwardian and Victorian buildings, carefully rebuilt after the 1969 earthquake.
From its early farming roots to its role as a trekker’s stop en route to the interior, Tulbagh has always been a place of resilience and renewal. Today, visitors can walk its historic streets, explore museums, and experience a living history surrounded by mountains and vineyards.
