will dated 29 April 1713  

Notes:

 

 

In his will, dated 1713, he is described as having been born in Amsterdam and being 45 years old. In the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is recorded the baptism of 'Adrian, son of Roelof Adriaensz van Wijk and Trijntje Jans, 18th January 1668. (Amsterdam information kindly supplied by Bob Kernkamp).  Since Roelof van Wijk and Trijntje Jans also lived at the Cape, I think we can safely assume that this baptism is his.  On 21st September 1688 he was granted permission to move from the Cape to Drakenstein (1 STB 15/2).  Also in his will he is desribed as 'sick, confined to bed'. One can speculate that in this year of Smallpox plague that this is what he was suffering from - certainly he died in the same year.  For a general discussion of the early Van Wijks see my notes <../notes/VanWijk_intro.htm>.

Saturday 20 June 1705 

 

Leeuwenkuijl website 

 

Leeuwenkuijl was formerly known as the historical Schinderkuijl, which was issued to Guillaume Heems, one of WA van der Stel’s officials, in 1693. As one of the governor’s confidants, Heems was not beloved by his fellow colonists. 

 

It is thanks to Heems however, that the explanation for the name Schinderkuijl – the German meaning for someone who uses materials gathered from demolished buildings or shipwrecks for the construction of buildings– got its recognition. The buildings on the historical Schinderkuijl (Leeuwenkuijl’s current werf) are someof the oldest in the Agter Paarl region and some of the most valuable in the Western Cape. The manor house was built with stone, while the lintels above the doors were sourced from the bottom of a ship’s bow. To this day, the Leeuwenkuijl yard still retains the same historical layout, with two long houses, outbuildings and animal pens, as described in a deed dating from 1704. 

 

Arij van Wijk, one of Adam Tas’ supporters in his struggle against WA van der Stel, became the owner of Schinderkuijl in 1705, hence the front gable with its fancy A-frame and lovely plasterwork. It was also Arij who, by planting vines, transformed Schinderkuijl/Leeuwenkuijl into one of the early wine 

 

Following its subdivision in 1800, the farm’s name was changed from Schinderkuijl to Leeuwenkuijl. The word “kuijl” refers to the watering holes that were found in what is currently known as the Mosselbank River and the Hans Lourens River. Since the area around Leeuwenkuijl provided plenty of resting places – public areas where farmers and their cattle could rest and drink water – many farmers chose to spend the night here. The Cape Lionposed one of the biggest threats to the cattle farmer and the name Leeuwenkuijl refers to one of these holes where farmers spent the night and had their cattle attacked by lions.  

In 1851 the Dreyers became the owners of Leeuwnekuijl. Johan Frederik Dreyer was a direct descendant of Johannes Augustus Dreyer who fled Texel, Germany in 1713, as midshipman under the alias Isaac Dalgue, to settle in the Cape. Legend has it that he had to flee Germany after defeating his opponent in a sword fight over a girl. 

The Dreyer connection with the farm however, is already highlighted following Johannes Augustus’ marriage to Sarah van Wijk, the daughter of Arij van Wijk.

 

 

 

 

 

The Dreyers were big farmers in the Agter Paarl region and Leeuwenkuijl became a well-known grain farm. Mixed farming also featured and it was the two brothers uncle Mike and uncle Freddie, who not only lived in the manor house together with both their families, butalso managed to farm together in peace. 

 

The Dreyers’ family connections were strong and are reflected in history. While uncle Mike and uncle Freddie lived in the main house, uncle Bertie and his mom, aunt Maggie, lived in the long house. The families took care of each other and were very close. 

 

Mike and Freddie’s nine children related stories about the Dreyers’ lives on Leeuwnkuijl and the rich background of their upbringing, in glorious detail. They rode bicycles and donkey carts, played pranks on each other and went to school together, held parties and picnics and enjoyed absolute freedom. Farming was part of their everyday existence. 

Then came Willie Bossiesvlei (Willem Petrus Dreyer), the nephew of Mike and Freddie, to whom they sold the farm 1963. He was a handsome, proud man with a gallant manner and a hat for every occasion.

 

 

Willie hailed from the farm Bossiesvlei, hence the name, and was a quiet, hard-working man who began to establish Leeuwnkuijl as a farm with its roots in the wine industry. He planted Pinotage, oblivious to the fact that he was teaching his son everything there is to know about viticulture.

 

 

Willie Dreyer, the current owner of Leeuwenkuijl, is well knownin the wine industry and when speaking to other farmers in the Paarl and even the Stellenbosch regions they always enquire about him. They speak of him with respect and appreciation for both his share in the wine industry and his love for his farm. 

  

Willie Dreyer took Leeuwenkuijl back to what it was in 1705. The werf was restored and the buildings fixed up. The house was extended in a manner that showed great respect and consideration for its historical architecture and finally Leeuwenkuijl’s success story was written down.
