Die Breytenbach Sentrum
Officially known in Afrikaans as Die Breytenbach Sentrum (the Breytenbach Centre in English) is today home to a multicultural cultural centre, providing training in and exposure to fine arts, music, drama and literature.
The buildings used for the Centre, at 14 Burger Street in the Western Cape town of Wellington, were once home to the well-known Breytenbach family, including painter, poet and playwright Breyten Breytenbach, military officer and author of military books, Jan Breytenbach, and photographer Cloete Breytenbach, and was named after the family.
The first renovations to the buildings were completed in early 2007 and the Centre was officially opened on 26 February 2007. A second restoration initiative was launched in 2019.
