Oostende

also Ostend), a port city in Belgium situated on the North Sea in the province of West Flanders. Population, 56,200 (1971). A transportation center connected by canal with the city of Bruges, Oostende is the principal Belgian fishing port. Its industries include oyster culture, shipbuilding, metalworking, and the chemical and food industries.

Oostende is a health resort with a maritime climate. Summers are moderately warm (average July temperature, 16.5°C), and winters are very mild (average January temperature, 3.5°C). Annual rainfall is approximately 780 mm. Treatments available for persons suffering from such ailments as functional nervous disorders, nontubercular respiratory diseases, and anemia are sea bathing (from July to mid-September), heated sea baths, and sand baths. The city has a hydropathic establishment, a wide sandy beach 15 km long, and a number of parks.

Oostende is first mentioned in the 11th century as a fishing settlement. It was fortified in 1583; the fortifications were torn down in the second half of the 19th century. During the Dutch bourgeois revolution of the 16th century, Oostende was known for its heroic resistance against the Spanish troops, which took the city only after a three-year siege lasting from July 1601 to September 1604.

Modern buildings predominate in Oostende, since the city suffered extensive damage during World War I and World War II. The seaside promenade, which is especially impressive, is the site of a number of fashionable hotels built on the dike, the Casino (rebuilt in 1950–53, architect L. Stynen), and the town hall (1954–58, architect V. Bourgeois). The Ensor museum is located in Oostende.
