Mosterts Mill - Cape Town, Western Cape: This is undoubtedly the best known Dutch-style windmill in South Africa. The mill was most likely built in 1796 by Gysbert van Reenen. After Gysbert’s death, the farm’s next owner was Gysbert’s son-in-law, Sybrand Jacobus Mostert, whose name is now associated with the mill. In 1889 the mill was sold to Cecil John Rhodes, then the Prime Minister of the Cape. He had the old farmhouse redesigned by the young up and coming architect, Herbert Baker. The original mills in the Cape were based on their Dutch counterparts. However, the strong Cape winds destroyed them and various Dutch experts were sent out from Holland to design mills more suited to the Cape weather. Today, Mosterts Mill is a major tourist attraction.
