Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands, Capo Occidentale, Sud Africa

Muratie Wine Estate

Il primo "proprietario" nel 1685 fu il soldato tedesco e impiegato della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Orientali, Laurens Campher.

Insolitamente per l'epoca, sposò una schiava, Ansela van de Caab, non appena fu liberata.

La casa in cui vivevano qui esiste ancora: ora è la galleria d'arte e il negozio (foto).

 

Muratie Wine Estate

The first "owner" in 1685 was the German soldier and employee of the Dutch East India Company, Laurens Campher.

Unusually for the time, he married a slave girl, Ansela van de Caab, as soon as she was freed.

The house they lived in here still exists: it's now the art gallery and shop (photo).
