Groote Schuur: Great Granary to Stately Home presents a rare opportunity to glimpse the splendour of South Africa's premier historical home. The ultimate "gentlemen's residence", Groote Schuur was created by Herbert Baker for Cecil John Rhodes. From the first European settlement at the Cape to the watershed meeting that marked the end of apartheid, the story of Groote Schuur parallels the history of South Africa.
