(Built around 1897 by Pieter Christiaan Burger)
This old 'herehuis' (the only Brandewynpaleis left of three in the Hex Valley) is situated on architectural land that used to be part of the original farm De Doorns. De Doorns was one of the first four farms that were granted in the Hex River Valley. The original deed of transport was dated March 22nd 1731. More than 100 years later the village De Doorns had been established on a less useful part of this enormous farm. The first four farms,Roodezand, Vendutiekraal, De Doorens and Buffelskraal, were extremely large pieces of land and together they covered almost the entire Valley.
