The Old Masonic temple was built n 1884 for the St Blaize Lodge. It has no external windows but skylights give light

A closer view of the tower of St Thomas Catholic Church

This building was built in 1885 and was used as a school.   In 1905 it was enlarged and became a church.   It was enlarged again in 1935 when the towers were added.  

The beautiful painting of "The Poort" and Bat Cave was painted by Mr. Richard Wyness.  The Poort is a favourite swimming place for locals and visitors.

Last week we went to watch Mark Nixon in the Dias Maritime Museum.   The Mossel Bay Arts Society organized the show but everybody was welcome.   I do not know a lot about classical music but did enjoy the evening.   Mark played music by Franz List, Johannes Brahms and Claude Debussy on the piano.   I enjoyed the Brahms and the Estampes of Claude Debussy and the setting was great.   We will look out for more shows in the future.

The Granary was built between 1786 and 1787 to store grain brought by farmers until there was enough for a shipload. It was demolished in 1951. In 1987 it was reconstructed from the original plans. Today it is the entrance to the Dias Museum Complex.
