Colesberg is a town in the west coast region of the Western Cape in South Africa. Colesberg is surrounded by koppies with the most famous being Coleskop. Founded in 1830 on an abandoned station of the London Missionary Society, Colesberg was named after Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, then Governor of the Cape Colony. In a sheep-farming area spread over half-a-million hectares, greater Colesberg breeds many of South Africa’s top merinos. Colesberg is also renowned for producing high-quality racehorses and many stud farms.
Many of the properties in Colesberg have buildings which are fine examples of early Karoo architecture. Colesberg boasts many buildings that were built in a blend of Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture with ceilings of reed, and yellowwood timbers, and others that display a range of designs reflecting the changes of 19th century building.
Colesberg is home to the Colesberg-Kemper Museum which features fascinating relics of the town's rich history. Among its exhibits is the Kemper Collection dating to the 1880's, Anglo-Boer War photographs and artefacts, a 19th century toy collection and a Karoo Nomad photographic exhibition.
