Met sy ryk geskiedenis, mooi historiese geboue en heerlike restaurante is Swellendam, wat net \u2019n klipgooi van die Breederivier gele\u00eb is, net die plek om te besoek. Die pragtige dorp is op die oewer van die Koringlandsrivier gele\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Swellendam is volgens Wikipedia <\/i>die derde oudste dorp in Suid-Afrika en het iets wat in elkeen se smaak sal val.<\/p>\n
Die dorp is vernoem na die eertydse Kaapse goewerneur Hendrik Swellengrebel, die eerste goewerneur wat in die Kaap gebore is, en sy vrou, Helena Ten Damme, met wie hy in 1728 getroud is.<\/p>\n
Die dorp pronk met baie sierlike geboue uit die ou dae, wat behoue gebly het. Een van hulle is die Drostdy-museum. Die Ou Drostdy-gebou is \u2019n pragtige voorbeeld van die destydse Kaaps-Hollandse argitektuur en dien vandag as \u2019n kultuurhistoriese museum. Die Drostdy is in 1747 gebou en was die woning van die landdros. Die eerste landdros vir die distrik was Johannes Theophilus Rhenius.<\/p>\n
Die eerste kerk is in 1802 gebou en die Nederduitse Gereformeerde kerk met sy vier argitektoniese style is in 1910 op die perseel van die eerste kerk (1802) opgerig.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Ander besienswaardigheid is die kerkie van St. Lukas, wat uit 1865 dateer.<\/p>\n
Ander belangrike historiese geboue sluit onder meer in Morgenzon, die Olyfkrans-kollege-gebou, die Residensie, die Rothman-huis en die Oefeningshuis, \u2019n skool vir minderbevoorregte kinders.<\/p>\n
Nog \u2019n interessante brokkie geskiedenis is dat Francis William Reitz, staatspresident van die destydse Oranje-Vrystaat, in Swellendam gebore is.Wat om in en om Swellendam te doen:<\/b><\/p>\n
