Skuinshuis

The two-story structure at 44 Ryneveld Street features Georgian architectural elements, including a high raised parapet with molded cornice and round cast iron vents.

Built in 1782 beside an old wagon trail, the T-shaped farmhouse received its distinctive facade modifications during the early years of the nineteenth century.

The Hebrew congregation acquired the property in 1923, establishing it as a center for Jewish community activities and religious gatherings in Stellenbosch.

Located near the synagogue, the building contains multiple windows, a tiled stoep, and a central entrance with a fanlight set in an arched plaster architrave.

The structure's position predates the establishment of Stellenbosch's current grid pattern street layout, which was implemented in 1811.
