Eclectic ZA Wilhelmiens : A shared Dutch built heritage in South Africa

Chapter 01 page 6
Author: Abrahamse, Jaap Evert
Title: The making of an architect

Here Abrahamse writes of the circumstances of the experience and training of the professional architect and engineer as it occurred in the C19 in the Netherlands, where it had a particular character because of the social and religious circumstances, namely the divide between Protestantism and Catholicism. Because of the express constitutional requirements of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) that those in civil service belong to the Reformed Church, those Dutch immigrants that came to do service were both Calvinist and probably drawn by these very circumstances. This has contributed to the nature of the style and type of the built residue in what were the once Republics.
