PHILIPPOLIS OLD JAIL
Self Catering Accommodation
in Philippolis, Free State, South Africa

Spend a Night
In An Authentic "Jail"

The jail was built in 1872 in Philippolis, the oldest "nedersetting" (1823) in the Free State. The Jail has for all practical purposes been left in as close to original state as possible. Experience what a prisoner must have felt like way back then, locked up in one of the cells. But of course, we have added all the modern conveniences that we all have become accustomed to. A stopover well worth going to jail for.
