Aan het einde van de 18de eeuw annexeert Frankrijk onze gewesten. Napoleon vreest een aanval vanuit Engeland op de haven van Oostende, en laat daarom in 1811 een imposant fort in de duinen optrekken. Een bezoek aan deze unieke locatie is telkens een verrassing!
Napoleon built this fort as a defence against a possible invasion from England. Since 1995, Fort Napoleon has been managed by “Erfgoed Vlaanderen” that sees to the restoration and has turned it into a hospitable spot. Today you can not only discover the captivating past, but also enjoy the cultural activities, a relaxing visit to the bistro or a gourmet dinner in an exclusive setting.
From 1932 until 1960, the Mercator served as a training vessel for the officers of the Belgian merchant navy. Now, it is anchored in Oostende, where its authentic interior provides the perfect location for a nautical museum, a floating treasure room filled with objects collected during its long journeys.
