    It is a neo-Romanesque building from 1923, built to replace a similar church building from 1877. The church was severely damaged not only during the First but also during the Second World War. The repairs of 1947 determine the current appearance. The yellow brick facades rest on a bluestone plinth. The distinction between the Romanesque St. Bernard's Church and the Gothic churches of Nieuwpoort-Stad and St. George is clear at a glance.

    In 1877, Benjamin Crombez commissioned the construction of a Neo-Romanesque church, intended for Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish services.

    Explanation: The St. Bernard's Church in Nieuwpoort-Bad is located a few dozen meters from the seawall. It is the only church along the Belgian coast whose main portal directly overlooks the sea.

    The first St. Bernard's Church was built in 1877 by commission of landowner Benjamin Crombez. He envisioned the place of worship as a place for all religions and faith communities. The building was destroyed during the First World War.
