» History
Cape Town architecture developed a certain style and elegance, which came to the fore in the latter part of the 18th century to mid 19th century. It revelled in the talents of German sculptor Anton Anreith and Parisian architect Louis Thibault. They collaborated several times and Anreith's German Baroque style, somehow managed to blend with Thibault's neo-classic designs as favoured by French King Louis XVI. Cape-Dutch style remains a classic feature of Cape Town architecture until today.
