I had the privilege of attending the official opening on 20 April 2024 of the rebuilt and restored Mostert’s Mill after it was destroyed by a fire in April 2021. It was a humbling experience to observe a touching, yet delightful ceremony led by the Friends of Mostert’s Mill committee, the driving force behind the restoration project. Well done to the committee and all those who contributed to enable this part of South Africa’s heritage to literally rise from the ashes! You made us grateful and proud!

I love historic places and monuments and feel strongly that the secret to our success lies in not repeating the faws made in the past. As such its really nice to see the mill actually doing what it was made to do - grind wheat. Entrance today cost me R50 for myself and my wife. Thats per year. Individual entrance is currently R40. Check their facebook page and website for further details.

The Friends of Mostert's mill are a dedicated group of volunteers with a passion for the mill. Thank you all for what you do. This is only open on the 3rd Saturday of each month. The knowledge shared was impressive.

Incredibly informative, so sad that more isn't done! Open every 28 days for a look into Cape history. You can even buy flour milled in the traditional manner! Quite amazing and worth a visit.

Description
Mostert's Mill is a historic windmill in Mowbray, Cape Town, South Africa. It was built in 1796 and was, until it was gutted in a wildfire on 18 April 2021, the oldest surviving complete windmill in South Africa. The fire had started on Table Mountain and spread, severely damaging a number of buildings.
