The miracle isn’t surviving the wars, the miracle is not being torn down to build flats
Real estate investors: *Think about how many grey appartements you can fit here.*
Glad some nice buildings are still standing.
The real miracle is that it wasn’t torn down to be replaced by an ugly apartment building. Our coast used to be filled with beautiful architecture like this.
The groundfloor has been for rent for the past year normally 😀
And then you see the massive Europa Tower…
But this is a beauty.
Wasn’t it for sale recently?
I see the neigbouring buildings have not been so lucky.
the world wars barely dented the belgian coast. it was demolition-hungry modernists who wanted to destroy the title of ‘queen of the seaside’ for some incomprehensible reason
Bring back beautiful buildings please
If I win euromillions, this is where you will find me.

It’s one of the few remaining Belle Époque buildings on the coastline, making it stand out amongst the [mediocrity](https://i.ibb.co/ynysJDHx/Villa-Maritza.png). It was [sold](https://alychlo.com/versluys-group-sells-iconic-and-prestigious-belle-epoque-penthouse-in-villa-maritza-ostend/) in 2020 for a reported €1.85M. I’m jealous of whoever gets to wake up to that view in photo 3 😍
Beautiful facade!
