Het beste van Blankenberge

Blankenberge Essentials

Blankenberge's historical identity is preserved through its diverse architectural heritage, ranging from the 18th-century fisherman’s cottage, Huisje van Majutte, to the mid-20th-century harbor lighthouse. The town's evolution is visible in the 17th-century former town hall, now an art gallery, and the Belle Époque Paravang windbreak overlooking the harbor. Religious and aristocratic history is further represented by the Sint-Antonius Abtkerk and the manor house at Uitkerke, offering a perspective on the coastal town's development beyond its modern seaside attractions.
