The farm is situated next to Duwisib Castle and includes its historical outbuildings. The castle was constructed of red sandstone in 1908. This attraction draws thousands of tourists every year. To understand why someone would build a castle in the middle of the desert, one only has to experience the beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings. Today Duwisib castle is a museum, run by Namibia Wildlife Resorts. Farm Duwisib is a family enterprise, run by the Frank-Schultz family.
