### Ou Raadsaal; Church Square, Pretoria, South Africa!!

Yesterday, I wrote a post on the [Distinguished Gentleman's Ride](https://hive.blog/powerhousecreatives/@rynow/distinguished-gentleman-s-ride), where I promised to do a post on the ***Ou Raadsaal*** (Old CouncilHall).

The Ou Raadsaal, is on Church Square in Pretoria. The Ou Raadsaal, housed the South African Parliament from 1891 to 1902. The building was designed by a Dutch architect, Sytze Wierda, in the renaissance revival style. The cornerstone was laid by president Paul Kruger on 6 May 1889, and the building was completed in December 1889 at a cost of 82 500 Pound.

You can see the old furnisher and the beautiful lead glass windows and chandelier hanging from the roof.

I love the interesting ceiling design as well as the balconies inside the hall.

The building is not really open to the public, but a few Rand given to the security guard, opened doors and gave entrance to about 30 bikers!! So much for security. I however enjoyed the visit and I felt the R10.00 I gave was money well spent, to see such a nice historic building on the inside!!

I hope you liked the post as much as I liked writing it.

I hope you have a wonderful day!!
