Billiant museum and so well maintained. Loved it!

Really informative museum well laid out with amazing exhibits. The memorial is also very impressive. I loved it. A must to visit and take your time.

Nice place to visit when in Franchoek. Peaceful and will tell you all about how franchoek was established and why the France chose to come to South Africa

We had an awesome day out in Franschhoek and the Huguenot Museum was definitely ons of the highlights. Take your time to read the history of the Huguenots making their way to South Africa.

Not worth the R100 per person tickets in my opinion. If your really into the history of Huguenots and Franschoek it might be worthwhile. There is also a perfume museum which was really interesting.

A bit of a let down taking into consideration the price i paid and the size also the things to do. Id say R80 per person was a bit tight. Otherwise a good learning expedition and some nice artifacts. The museum is taken very well care of and is very neat.

As a Hugenote descendant, this was a very rewarding experience. Well presented and maintained.

Well layed out and a beautiful location. Displays are informative and really interesting. Definitely worth a visit.

Very interesting museum. Split over two buildings on opposite sides of the road. Also houses the perfume museum which is very nice.

Nice piece of history and architecture. Great stroll in an indigenous garden next to the museum.

If you have a little spare time when you are passing through Franschhoek then have a look at the Huguenot museum and memorial, it will tell you an important story and there gardens and restaurant are beautiful

Went and did our engagement shoot here, will defos share and tagg as soon as i received them

Excellent and well kept museum.

The Hugenote memorial is in memory of the (mostly) French protestants who fled to FRANSchoek. The beautiful statue keeps watch on what happens down the main road of the peaceful town.

Simple monument and worth a quick stop. If kids aren’t interested, lots to see on the grounds. Coffee in a cone! Plus ice cream in the summer.

For those of you who are traveling to learn more about South Africas history, this is a well recommended resource as nobody really knows where the term Huguenot originated from... But was used for these settlers to the Oliphants Valley, now known as Franschoek. Filled with a lot of rich and beautiful history for those travelers who enjoys culture and museums... A defenit opportunity to explore how the earlier settlements would have worked...

Worth a stop if you passing by, tour guide available, restaurants and shops about 5mins drive away. Perfect for taking photos with unique backgrounds and landscapes.

Really awesome experience and getting to know ones roots is inspiring

Really good information on the history of the Huguenots. Worth the visit.

Interesting to see the French Huguenots history in Franshoek.

Beautiful small town with lots of possibilties

Very friendly staff. Great views of the surrounding mountains of the Franchhoek region. Very good way to learn about the history of the French contributions to South Africas history. The memorial has lovely grounds which is great for picnics and school groups.

With historical back rounds of franschoek its always nice to inform our torist about the history that starts in early 1692s

Very nice. Awesome people that gives you the background.

Lots learnt of the history of our country and a great time out.

We phoned the Tourism office 1 day prior to book. I was informed that the museum will be open at 13h30. On arrival Sunday 24 January the museum was closed. The person working at the Tourism office supplied me with wrong information. Please communicated with your personnel to avoid these letdowns.

Loved visiting this museum. Friendly staff, well-kept grounds

Disappointing - gardens gone to the...Questionable preservation of the Bibles on display.Beautiful displays perfume & new main.

Very informative and well-constructed museum! Interior design is done well and the experience is well worth it. The history behind the area of Franschoek is definitely very interesting! Give this museum a try if you find yourself in Franschoek and make sure to check out the Huguenot Memorial while you are there!

Very good,so interesting !

Beautiful old antiques of the French Huguenot era, a memorial built for religious freedom (Protestant fled Catholic prosecution, reason they fled to SA). Also includes a wonderful building with a timeline for the sequence of events throughout history for the Huguenots, and a display of the original surnames and how they changed over time of the first 300 settlers to arrive in the Cape.

I walked around the gardens which were beautifully understated, didnt actually go into the museum, a bit too expensive for my purse.

Was a wonderful experience...well executed!!

Very nice place... with a lot of history about the French Huguenot. Will definitely recommend this one.

So much detailed history record there. An absolute must to visit. Take your time spend a few hours absorbing all the details. Dont forget to visit the perfume museum.

Nice but not spectacular

Extremely interesting Beautifully maintained with magnificent gardens. Well worth the visit🌟

The museum is well worth a visit.

Very interesting. Really something to visit if you are interested in the history of the Cape.

Thw museum is closed for renovation.

Fremch hugenot history that shaped the wine industry of RSA

Shows you how far(apartheid(1652 -1655)is when it started in southafrica

Enjoyed looking at old historic museums

If you dont know about Huguenot diaspora and their influence on the early settlement of the Cape Province then go here. The museum is small but well laid out, confining itself to its subject. It is a real gem, accessible and free. Spend an hour or two here.

Venue closed when i arrived here on 21 May 2021

Had a lovely walk through the museum , if you would like to know more about Huguenot history them that the place to go. You do pay a fee to enter the museum and see the monument. Some people complain about this, but I see it as a maintenance fee. These places need contant upkeep , I am glad to pay if the area is clean and well maintained.

Very neat. Well kept.

Beautiful architecture set in magnificent surroundings. The exhibits are attractively and clearly displayed. It is very informative and any Huguenot descendant (or interested person) will come away enlightened.

Great experience

We drive a long way to come here, sadly the main building was closed so we only got to see the side annexe. If we knew this we would have postponed.Aside from that it is a great place to learn. I have now starred looking into my history of my family as I never knew we had French descent!

The best small museum I have ever seen. Most informative. A must visit in the beautiful Franschhoek valley.

Very interesting and well looked after

Two woman trying to run a restaurant completely under stocked. In both beverages as well as mains dishes. Was completely deserted and yet still took forever to get drinks. Ended up at a place down the road for a phenomenal lunch.

Lovely museum! Skip the old part where you buy the tickets to go right on the other side. This part is very well organized and explained. We were lucky toto me a young passionate guide to walked us through and made the visit unforgettable.

Very nice place, also for a pick-nic under the trees in the garden. Also visit the perfume museum

Its a tiny museum and the visit shouldnt take too long. The Hugenot community was very important for the local history and this museum celebrates that heritage. For their descendants there are nice little touches like the arrival dates for various families and family Bibles for more than a few. Others may not find the same level of interest. There was a small exhibit about slavery in the Cape too. If you do find yourself in the neighborhood why not drop by.

Documentay introducing the history well worth watching and a great historical summary. Displays and signage could be much improved.

First time visiting the museum and boy was it informative. every south african should visit this wonderful museum

Very informative museum, even more so since the refurbishing of the main building. Sadly enough, the video summarising the story of the Huguenots is not played anymore. I believe it was too much of an effort to replace a defect DVD player which would have costed a mere R 1,000

Worth a visit. Too much to explain here. Do your homework before you go, not one for the kids.

I really learnt a few useful facts and thr purfume shop smelt great. I just wish there was more variety of things I could physically do.

Very cool monument! The museum is great too - very informative and insightful.

Fascinating insight into Huguenot history. Immaculately maintained and hugely interesting.

I love the game God of War. Huguenot Monument took me immediately into the game. I was so excited to see and measure up against the humongous creation.Definitely a beautiful nice family picnic.

At first seemed a bit disorganized, but once you head to the museum the history is beautifully layed out. A must for any one interested in a part of our South African history. The guide is well informed and truely interesting.

This museum is super well designed and kept. It gives us a great insight into the French Huguenots and their struggles.

The Memorial was beautiful and inside the Museum was just gorgeous. Definately a must see.

Sort of small museum.. but at least the entry price isnt bad. Not worth the long drive from Cape Town if youre only going there for the museum (we went when it was raining, so couldnt enjoy the epic gardens next door).They should at least have some sort of audio guide option

Beautifully kept and laid out! Love the details of individual Huguenots.

It may have its well justified historical meaning, and it is a beautiful monument. Nevertheless, I really feel is not a monument worth to pay for. If you are only looking for the picture, ok fine, but nothing else can be done.

Lovely museum, fascinating content. I recommend it for anyone that wants to know more about their own history if they are a Huguenot.

Very clean, well kept and informative, with helpful staff.

Plenty of info about the history of the Huguenots in SA. Well laid out. Bring some time with you. Visit the adjoining park and monument.

It was a great experience to see how the exhibitions are shown.I was recently fot 2 months in Spain and visited 15 museums.The Huguenot Museum is in line with some of the great Spanish museums!

History of Franchoek fascinating very well display and history tread

Very interesting museum about the hystory of the Huguenot and theyr settlement in SA.

Very interesting and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful

The museum material is exceptionally well presented, the museum is beautifully well maintained and the monument is striking

Very informative. Gives you so much information on the history of the Huguenots arrival in South Africa.

Hidden gem with thought-provoking exhibits. The docent (Keegan) is highly knowledgeable and patient.

Lots of info, well presented. Pity they dont show the educational DVD anymore!

The Huggenot Museum is worth a visit if you are in Franshoek. There are 2 buildings- the museum and the annex. The tickets are sold in the annex and there is a display of artifacts in the annex. However, I suggest that once you pay your entrance fee, you proceed across the road to the main museum. In the main museum bldg the story of the Hugenots is told very well a chronological time line. Once you have explored the main museum, return to the annex to look at the supporting items such as a beautiful goat cart and good explanations of Hugenot farming activities etc. There is a small gift shop in the Annex with some nice cards.

The staff are well informed. Ask questions.

Great museum, lots of history of the French huguenot and the protestant movement that they held to. Would be even better if more of the content was translated from French into other languages.

Really a beautiful place with an important history on display. Well worth a visit.

Excellent tourist attraction to visit. Place well kept and staff friendly and well informed.

Beautiful historic displays of huegenots beautiful pristine gardens. Franschoek is a definate stop!

Not what I expected. A few years ago they could give you your whole family tree...

We went to a funeral. Very sad but a nice place for peace and quiet.

Beautiful family outing. Very Educational

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AND EXCELLENT HISTORICAL MONUMENT IT IS A MUST FOR CITIZENS AND TOURISTS ALIKE.THERE IS A RESTAURANT AT THE BACK ON THRE GROUND THAT SHOULD NOT BE MISSED.EXCELLENT FOOD AND VIEWS OF NATURE.

The whole complex is very well maintained and kept in pristine condition. The displays are very informative and should be a must to see when visiting Franschhoek.

Fantastic experience especially the perfume museum 😍😍😍Suggestion- may be better if the information in the Barons house is only about the Huguenots and not other things ( in the red bubbles...)

Educative too. Such a nice and lovely place.

Great visit, gardens needs attention.

Full of history and nice and peaceful

Closed for renovations for a few months when we went this month. Statue was impressive. Beautiful location

Its a great place to visit . The setting is incredible.

Also a first time to be there. Mond blowing! Great info. And the displays, well done!

Excellent. History of French Hugenots
