Casino in Oostende
oil/board, 75 x 75 cm

ESTIMATE € 800 - 1600
STARTING PRICE € 800

The building with Casino and Kursaal dominates the view of Ostend's Albert I Promenade. The building, built in 1953 based on a design by Leon Stijnen, stands on the same site where the first casino was built in 1875. The previous building was completely destroyed during the Second World War. The large, spectacular modernist-style casino is the largest casino in Belgium. A special eye-catcher is the gaming room with the murals by Paul Delvaux. In addition to the casino, the building houses three restaurants, a bar and various exhibition, meeting and event halls that are home to Ostend's cultural life.
