Location: Middelkerke, Oostende, West Flanders, Flanders, Belgium
The robust Church of Our Lady of Mannekesvere in typical yellow polder clay brick is surrounded by a cemetery and separated from the Brugsesteenweg by a stone wall.It is a three-aisled, neo-Gothic hall church designed in 1922, with an older tower from 1860. The building replaces a medieval place of worship that was destroyed during the First World War, when almost the entire village was wiped off the map. During the Second World War the village was also not spared and was completely destroyed.Source: openchurches.eu/nl/gebouwen/onze-lieve-vrouw-middelkerke-1
