Duwisib Castle, Namibia
Duwisib Castle is one of the most historic properties of Namibian Wildlife Resorts. It is in the southeast of Namibia. The perfect stop over between fish river canyon and the Namibia desert. Duwisib Castle offers accommodation and camping sites on the same property. The Castle towers above the nearby surroundings and is between some high hills. It is built from stone and offers a living museum on the inside of the castle. We do recommend a stopover and a visit to the castle when you are on the route in Southern Namibia.
The museum houses a rare collection of 18th and 19th-century antiques. There are various pieces and displays of armour and some important paintings. German army officer Baron von Wolf built the castle. He intended to create this castle for his American bride ‘ Jayta ‘ in the early 1900s. A Large part of the building materials was sourced locally in the form of stone. Specialized stonemasons were brought in from all over the world to assist in completing the build.
