Hästhagen och Erstagården

Plats

Namnet antyder att villaområdet Hästhagen tidigare var jordbruksmark. Torpet Lerboda som hörde till Nacka bruk låg här 1673. Från mitten av 1700-talet kallades torpet Hästhagen. Hästhagens omvandling till villaområde påbörjades 1925. Bryggaren Otto Emil Neumüller som ägde Hästhagen sedan 1902, blev på grund av lågkonjunkturen efter första världskriget tvungen att sälja marken.

Berget Nacken

Berget Nacken, eller Nackaberget, har troligen fått sitt namn av formen, i profil liknar berget en böjd nacke. Berget ligger söder om Järlasjön som under förhistorisk tid var en viktig farled till Mälardalen.

Farleden grundades upp under medeltiden men användes länge vintertid av skärgårdsborna som med häst och släde färdades över isarna till Stockholms vintertull vid Hammarby sjö. Troligen var berget Nacken ett av de landmärken man orienterade sig efter.

No visit to Cape Town would be complete without visiting Bertram House, which you will find on the corner of Orange Street and Government Avenue Gardens. Due to the strong Dutch influence in Cape Town, it is easy to forget that the British held the area several times during South Africa’s history, and Bertram House is a house museum which will show you how a wealthy British family lived in a country far from their own.

Built by the Dutch East India Company between 1666 and 1679, the Castle is the oldest building in South Africa. In 1682, the gated entry replaced the old entrance towards the sea. A bell tower, situated over the main entrance, was built in 1684 — the original bell, the oldest in South Africa, was cast in Amsterdam in 1697 by Claude Frémy and weighs just over 300 kilograms. It was used to announce time, as well as warning citizens in case of danger, since it could be heard 10 kilometers away.
