Matjiesfontein was founded in 1884 by the Scottish railwayman James Douglas Logan. It was a fashionable Victorian health spa and is now known for its historical buildings. The village was preserved as a National Heritage Site in 1975. Matjiesfontein has a colorful history that includes international cricketers, Olive Schreiner’s residency, fortification during the Boer war as headquarters of the Cape Command, a refuge for Jamieson Raid reformers, and controversial war crimes hearings.
