This is the house in which the world famous heart surgeon, Dr Chris Barnard, was born and grew up in. It is in Beaufort West (Western Cape) and can be visited because it is part of the Beaufort West museum complex. Dr Barnard passed away in 2001 while on holiday in Cyprus and his ashes were buried here, at his childhood home. Hence, on his headstone the words were engraved: "I have come back home".
