This castle was built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company to serve as a supply area for ships sailing by the Cape of Good Hope. It was a center of civilian, administrative and military life at the cape, until the settlement grew and some function and activities moved away from the castle. This castle replace an older fort called Fort de Geode Hoop which is made out of timber and clay and built in 1652 by Jan Van Riebeeck on his arrival at the cape. This Castle is also the largest building in South Africa.

The castle used to have a dungeon for the prisoner at that time. The moat around the castle will fill with water from the sea at high tide. Donker Gat or Black hole was the cell name used to torture the prisoner. The cell also doesn't have any window for the prisoner to breath fresh air. During the winter flood, the water rosed three foot within a minute, drowning some of the inmate that were chainded to the wall. Slave, outlaws and rebellius natives were excecuted within the castle for trying to escape.
