List of castles and fortifications in South Africa

This is a list of former and current castles and fortifications in South Africa and contains historical fortifications, military instillations, mock castles and Manor Houses, that may be referred to as "castles".

A fortification or Fort[1] is easily identifiable as a structure built purely for defensive purposes, however a castle is slightly more subjective.

The historical term castle refers to a Fortification that was also a seat of power and governance over the local area, the modern term might refer to a Manor House, a Châteaux or a Mansion and is more a matter of semantics.

[2] The castles will be discussed by province.
