It seems strange that the wonderful Liebig House just a few kilometres outside Windhoek has been unoccupied for years now and reached a stage of irreversible decay. Why does nobody care? Once a stately colonial mansion, only the walls, wooden floors and roof are left. Still, the commanding views of the nearby valley are probably the same as back in the early 1900s. When the sun sets and the warm glow comes shining in through the window frames, myriad shadows appear on the walls as if the whole place once again comes to life. Kids playing on the front lawn, parents in their rocking chairs on the balcony, the maid in the kitchen preparing dinner. It's so eerie, it makes you shiver.
