The Old Main Building is the oldest academic building of the University of Stellenbosch.
Inaugurated in November 1886 Architect: Carl Otto Hager
Faculty of Law.
When Stellenbosch celebrated its bicentenary in 1879, the public felt the need to erect a monument in commemoration of the event. ... it was decided to build a large and stately new college building -an indication once again of the vital role assigned to education by the leading villagers of the time.
