Collingrove Homestead provides a fine example of how our pioneers created a new Australian architecture.
Conceived as a little piece of England and commenced in 1856, Collingrove was the Angas family home and headquarters for their considerable pastoral interests. This family made significant contributions to the growth and development of South Australia from its earliest days through political involvement, pastoral endeavor and philanthropic gesture. Collingrove was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1976 by Ronald Angas.
Collingrove Homestead is a large house built of local stone with a slate roof and provides a fine example of how our pioneers created a new Australian architecture which still retains the Old Country atmosphere of their origin. Set in landscaped grounds, located in the famous Barossa Valley wine district of South Australia, home to some of the world’s best wines.
There is lots of work going on behind the scenes at Collingrove. Before regular visitation can resume, we must ensure that the property meets the necessary requirements for visitor safety, operational sustainability, and the protection of the building and its contents.
If you or anyone you know would like to volunteer and be part of that work, register your interest HERE.
We are particularly interested in people who would like to write and deliver tours, be part of the outdoor heritage group and learn museum conservation.
