De Haan has a special historical connection with Albert Einstein. In 1933, he briefly lived in a villa there while traveling to the United States. His residence is still visible in several places today.
He stayed at Shakespearelaan 5, 8420 De Haan, a modest seaside villa. The house is not open to the public, but you can view it from the outside.
A statue of Einstein stands in a park on Normandiëlaan, commemorating his stay.

Here you can take a seat next to the genius Einstein. Nice location to take a photo with Albert.
Before he permanently left for the United States in September 1933, Albert Einstein spent his last summer on European soil in De Haan, on the Belgian coast. In the idyllic tranquility of the 'Concession', the famous physicist cut his last ties with the German scientific world. But Einstein also had time to work in Villa Savoyarde.

A visit to the Einstein sculpture can easily be combined with a walk through De Duinbossen. The small park is located just before the entrance to the dune forest.
