Middelburg Attractions

|
Middelburg lies half way between Pretoria and Lydenburg: hence its name. The town was founded in 1866 and developed into an important agricultural, industrial and coal-mining center. Middelburg itself is of no particular interest, but there are places worth seeing to the north of the town.
A few buildings survive from the town's early days, among them the White Church, the railroad station and the Meyer Bridge, which all date from 1890.
