Cape Dutch architecture

Cape Dutch architecture is an architectural style primarily found in the Western Cape of South Africa, though modern adaptations have been constructed in regions such as Western Australia and New Zealand, typically on wine estates. The style emerged in the 17th century during the early years of the Dutch Cape Colony, and is named after the Dutch settlers who played a significant role in its development. Influences on the style can be traced to medieval architectural traditions from the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Indonesia.
