History of Ostend

Ostend has come a long way from its roots as an unassuming fishing village. We’ve endured invasions from Vikings and the Spanish held territory here, using the city as a base during their battle to maintain sovereignty over the Dutch during their 80-year war for independence. It was Belgium’s first king Leopold I who first set up a British-style seaside resort in Ostend after taking his new nation’s throne in 1831. These days Ostend has a lively nightlife scene with plenty of good restaurants and a major shopping centre.
