Koksijde - Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Duinenkerk
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Duinen church is a remarkable modern creation by the Bruges architect Langsoght from 1965. Its wavy roof and blue paint express the sea, whereas the beige bricks symbolize the dunes formed by the wind. The light interior houses in the crypt the tomb of St Iselbald, 12th C. abbot of the abbey.
The statue of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-ter-Duinen weighing 2.8 tons is by Brigitte Loire.
