Date: 1848 Type: Tollhouse Status: Extant

Michell's Pass Tollhouse is a historic structure located near Ceres in the Western Cape, South Africa, which was built shortly after the pass was completed in 1848. It is now a provincial heritage site and the subject of local ghost stories, with legends of a toll keeper's wife whose ghost is said to appear on the road at night. The original pass was a significant transport route, and the tollhouse was used until 1946, when the road was replaced by a more modern concrete one. (AI generated search)
