Place where adventures begin or end. Historical significance: Blankenberge station became a terminus on 1 October 1908. The new station building was put into use in 1937. Over the years, renovations and additions had somewhat affected the architectural value of the building, but it retained its value as a testimony to interbellum architecture. Despite its heritage value, the station was demolished in November 2013. It was replaced by a brand new complex. All this is happening as part of a renovation project for the station area. The new station building was completed in 2018. Two hotels are located above the station. The new Blankenberge station hall is a glass building so that travellers have a view of the Stationsplein from the platforms.

The name of the city ‘BLANKENBERGE’ is written here in large letters to welcome train passengers arriving in the city. The artwork is 27 meters long and 2.5 meters high. Want to have your picture taken with Blankenberge? You can do that here.

nice walk through the city to the Dr, from the Prinsenlaan.

Three stone staircases lead to the Zeedijk: the Bakkerstraattrap, the Kerkstraattrap or Leeuwetrap, and the Weststraattrap. The Kerkstraattrap, also called Leeuwetrap, was built in 1899 (previously made of wood) and probably designed by E. Hellemans (Brussels). It connects the Zeedijk with the Kerkstraat. The straight, bluestone staircase was originally decorated with four cast-iron columns (see Bakkerstraattrap) on the second and third intermediate landings. The current staircase has intermediate landings and railings on both sides, decorated with balusters at the steps. The overall appearance is characterized by pedestals with ornate upholstery and topped with spherical vases. The lions on the pedestals at the foot of the stairs are particularly striking. A double aluminum handrail is located in the middle of the stairs. Source: https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/45040

This memorial in Blankenberge commemorates the deaths of two officers and, incidentally, a dark chapter in Belgian history. Joseph Lippens and Henri De Bruyne were officers in the army of King Leopold II. Lippens was born in Brussels in 1855, and De Bruyne in 1868 in the Belgian seaside resort of Blankenberge. Their names would probably have been long forgotten if a memorial on Blankenberge's beach promenade hadn't commemorated them both. Lippens and De Bruyne were honored because they fell into the hands of Arab slave traders in the Congo and were killed by them on December 1, 1892. The monument, inaugurated on September 9, 1900, was donated by a committee of Congo veterans and created by the Brussels sculptor Guillaume Charlier.

Impressive monument.

A beautiful monument made of bronze.

The Monument for Lippens and De Bruyne is a bronze sculpture group on the Zeedijk in Blankenberge in honor of Henri De Bruyne and Joseph Lippens, two Belgian soldiers who died in the service of the Force Publique during the war in Maniema in 1892. The memorial, made by Guillaume Charlier, was unveiled in 1900. https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_voor_Lippens_en_De_Bruyne
