Dunn's Castle is a historic mansion located in the tranquil town of Piketberg in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Built by George Herbert Dunn in the late 1890s, the castle features 14 rooms arranged in a U-shape and includes a notable Norman tower. It is believed that the renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker designed the castle, combining durability and elegance with imported materials like French roof tiles and English cement.
