Anton Anrieth Groote Constantia pediment restoration at the old wine cellars
We have been visiting the wine farm named Groote Constantia for decades, this art work has never looked better!
The most famous work is by Anton Anrieth, its remarkable, magnificent!
Circa 1791.
Anton signed up to the military and that got him out of his native Germany, shipping to the cape.
I can advise visting early rather than late when the place can become really busy with tourists.

Click on the pictures to enlarge them, the camera used was a Canon G1X digital, this shot was
on a 4 x tele shot, which is a disapointing maximum.

The main house is to the left of the camera and really worth the visit when your in Cape Town.

Hey Roy !
Here you go.
Cheers
pipoOn the subject of the resurrection of the old sailing vessel, for which you supplied the timber, ( to Pipo, real name Phillipe), we will not be here to see the relaunch, but as of yesterday, all the frame work has been completed, the hull below the gunnels is complete and epoxied, and about 35% of the deck is fitted, (screwed and epoxied) and ongoing. All looking very fair and professional.
