    Sanatorium Vancauwenberghe became a military hospital in both the First and Second World Wars.

    At the outbreak of the war in 1939, the sanatorium was largely cleared and converted into a military hospital. The first wounded arrived on 10.04.1940 after the invasion of Belgium. From 04.06.1940 the German army took over the hospital and evacuated the rest of the wounded.

      During the two world wars it was a military hospital. At the end of World War II it was almost completely destroyed and rebuilt in 1946.

        From the beach it looks like a lost-place, but it's actually a hospital.
