Koopmans-De Wet House

Cape Town, South Africa, South Africa

---

Koopmans-De Wet House is a historic townhouse in Cape Town, originally built around 1700 and later reshaped in the late 18th century into a refined Cape colonial home with neoclassical features.

It became the home of the Koopmans-de Wet family and is now a museum that preserves period furniture, porcelain, glassware, artworks, and decorative wall paintings. As one of South Africa’s earliest house museums and a National Monument, it is valued for showing everyday elite life in old Cape Town and for its well-preserved historic character.
