James Ensor: Protector of Oostende's Heritage
Oostende, the city that sparked Ensor’s artistic genius, also ignited his passion for activism. When the city's "imaginary paradise" came under threat, Ensor took a stand. He opposed the demolition of the Mariakerke dune chapel and fought to protect the dunes and historic docks. Through his art and activism, he defended not just buildings, but the very soul of Oostende, where art, history, and nature merge. Explore Oostende’s rich heritage!
