Den Ijzer, always beautiful!

Do you have binoculars? Take your time and look for the bluethroat, or scan the sky for the kestrels...

A skyline right on the beach promenade. I always wonder who would want to live there.

The Nieuwpoort City Hall is a beautiful example of a smaller Flemish grain hall in late Gothic style, probably built around 1480. The first mention of a hall in Nieuwpoort dates back to 1280, which indicates a flourishing trading activity. After a city fire in 1383, the building even served as a temporary City Hall. During the First World War, the hall tower was blown up by the Belgian army on 17 October 1914 to prevent it from serving as a target for the enemy. The subsequent bombardments left hardly anything left of the medieval building. Architect Jozef Viérin led the reconstruction in the original style and material. In 1940, the hall was again damaged by an air raid, but was subsequently restored. From 1956, the building was given a museum function, first with a bird and shellfish museum, later with a museum for history and folklore. Since the restoration in the 1990s, the building has mainly served as an exhibition and reception area. The belfry of the Stadshalle was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, together with 23 other Flemish belfries — a sign of its historical and cultural value.

The belfry is part of the building's front facade and is partly built into it. It rises above the rectangular hall, which dates from the 14th century and belongs to the cross-border brick Gothic style. During the First World War, the tower was blown up and the hall, like the rest of the city, was almost completely destroyed. Between 1921 and 1923, both the belfry and the hall were rebuilt according to a historical model. During the reconstruction, the tower was given a new crowning, which makes it look more like the characteristic church towers from the region. The hall was given the appearance of the original building again, which was probably built around 1280 in late Gothic style.

Nevertheless, the waving flags attract all the attention.

The Sint-Audomaruskerk in Booitshoeke is a historic hall church that was first mentioned in 1135 and has undergone several extensions and restorations since then. In 1690, the tower was rebuilt and the nave was given two aisles, after which a new portal was added in 1735. The church was restored in 1923 to a design by architect Jan-Albert De Bondt and was given a cemetery wall and sacristy. The building, made of brick and characterized by a late Gothic style, has a semi-recessed tower with a curved tent roof and a three-sided closed choir. Inside you will find a 17th-century wooden porch altar, a pulpit from the same period and an organ from 1847, made by Charles-Louis van Houtte. The church is surrounded by a cemetery and is an important historical and architectural landmark in the region.
