Station Oostende
Wist je dat het iconische stationsgebouw van Oostende op 1 augustus 1913 werd ingehuldigd. De belle-époquestijl was geïnspireerd op het classicisme van de Franse 17de-eeuwse architect François Mansart. Het is het belangrijkste station aan de Belgische kust met in de zomer meer dan 250.000 reizigers per maand.
The Oosteroever Site is naturally surrounded by water and a protected dune area.
Deze uitgesproken groene omgeving zal naadloos verweven worden met het nieuwe Ensor Park. Dit prachtige binnen gebied met plaats voor sport, cultuur en ontspanning vormt de perfecte symbiose tussen de iconische gebouwen en de omliggende natuur.
