Photograph by H. Georgi, 1879–1890.
The main spa building and its esplanade can be seen on this photograph by H. Georgi. In the background, we can see the former village church, built in the 1850s, and the military hospital used by resting colonial troops between 1859 and 1908, before it was turned into a hotel.
