 Public building |  Belgium | 2005-05-01 |  | Endangered | *** |
The Abandoned Holiday Camp.
Located on the Belgian coast, very close to the North Sea, between the horrible concrete buildings, on can find this nice site built in 1950 by the Belgian architect henry Lacoste (1885-1968) in 1950.
This holiday residence was for the employees of RTT (now Belgacom), the main national telecommunication operator.
The demolition of the site was started, then one noticed (too late) that the architectural value of the building was not negligible.. The main façade is missing now (see image below).
View of the main buildings. Demolition has started, main façades are gone.

This exploration is really interesting for some reasons: psychedelic colors (blue, rose, orange pastel are everywhere), architecture (nice massive staircases, archways). One can also find lot of painted tiles (see 360° view on the left), modern stained glass windows... Definitely worth a visit!
Ik wou vorige week eens een bezoekje gaan brengen aan dit gebouw, maar kon enkel vaststellen dat het gebouw volledig afgebroken is. :-(
Volgens het regionale journaal zou het gebouw begin 2011 afgebrokken worden.
De vergunningen zijn blijkbaar afgeleverd en de aannemer is aangesteld.
Hierbij de link naar het artikel dat ik gevonden heb
artikel afbraak RTT
Home RTT ( nu Belgacom ) was een vakantie home waar de kinderen van medewerkers van RTT op verlof konden gaan
De Home bevind zich nog steeds in Oostduinkerke ( Belgié ) maar is eind de jaren 90 verkocht geweest en staat nu te vergaan in de natuur ! ikzelf ben der van mijn zes tot zestien jaar geweest en heb er een heel mooie tijd beleeft het doet dan ook heel veel pijn om te zien hoe zo een mooi gebouw aan zijn lot is overgelaten .
This place reminds me of the 60's TV show with Patrick McGoohan called The Prisoner. You must put the uniforms up on Ebay! Quite stylish and 60's retro!!!! What is RTT? Where are the beadrooms and what about the open Loos? Quite a strange place, wonder what kind of "vacations" happened here? "Are you Horney Baby?"
Been there about 2-3 months ago...
It was/is so beautiful, it's weird to walk over the floors filled with glass and trash when you know children played there...
Their not gonna restore the building. They have scheduled to tear the place down, and build another holiday residence. Just went there, was beautifull!
WOW, what a beautiful building...is there currently any national/local interest in restoration?
