Rust En Vreugd
Home in Cape Town for Willem Cornelis Boers, VOC official
Rust En Vreugd was built in the 1700s as a residence for an official of the Dutch East India Company.
Visitors to this national monument often encounter a few other unexpected guests, Some report feeling a tap on their shoulders, but feel chills when there is no one behind them when they turn around. Footsteps are sometimes heard. Some visitors see a floating woman lingering between rooms on the ground floor. Another woman can be seen glaring down at guests from an upstairs window.
If dogs get to be in the building they instantly take a great dislike to and snarl at the portrait of Lord Charles Somerset, a British Governor who was resident in the building.
, Rust-en-Vreugd, is now an art museum.
