Beyond Brandfort town and on the farm Louvain, this Gedenktuin site is huge and once encompassed an Afrikaner holiday park. it is now multiply ‘restored’ to an idea of what such memorial sites ‘should’ be like. The names of the dead are on a massive granite memorial; fabricated gravestones abound; memorials from earlier periods more clearly witness nationalist sentiment. A ‘restored’ black cemetery is also to be found in one area of the site.
