What travelers are saying
- Marc DerveeuwOstend, Belgium407 contributionsIn Nieuwpoort's shadow, where history breathes,
A museum stands, where memory wreathes.
Westfront echoes, tales of valor untold,
In the sluices' embrace, bravery unfolds.
Upon the Ijzer's banks, a steadfast line,
Defenders rose, their spirits entwined.
Hugo's pen could scarce capture the scene,
Of battles waged, where courage convenes.
Sluice gates guarded, a watery frontier,
Against the tide, resistance sincere.
The German advance met a resolute stand,
In Nieuwpoort's defense, on the sea-kissed sand.
Majestic currents, witnesses profound,
As heroes stood on that hallowed ground.
Museum walls whisper, secrets of the past,
How invaders' ambitions were shattered, recast.
In Hugo Claus's prose, emotions cascade,
Through the sluices' tale, a history relayed.
Concrete giants, silent witnesses stand,
Guardians of freedom, in the lowland's expanse.
Brave hearts held firm, in the face of despair,
A symphony of courage, a riveting air.
Nieuwpoort's Westfront, a shrine to the brave,
Where the Ijzer flows, both silent and grave.
So let us remember, with gratitude's flame,
The souls who defended, in freedom's name.
In the museum's embrace, let history thrive,
On Nieuwpoort's Westfront, where heroes survive.Written December 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - mickey5633Overijse, Belgium70 contributionsgreat workshop

These locks were opened when they were in nomandsland without intervention of the Germans by Belgian pioniers and stopped the German advance. They even had to withdraw. Afterwards they were kept and maintained to control the water in the frontline before the Belgian front line. Visit the museum under the Albert 1 momument to know more and were the system of the locks is explained.Written March 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidalan14Seaford, UK129 contributionsVisiting my sister on the Belgian coast with 1 baby and 1 toddler we needed some activities to capture their attention and my sister remembered visiting here almost 20 years ago when her kids were young so off we went in search of it and what a lovely surprise. Firstly,free parking and free entry make this a very cheap day out with money to spend in the on site cafe once we’d done the entire tour. Many types of farm animals were present including pigs,goats,donkeys,rabbits,geese,swans,chickens and many types of birds with a kids soft play area and sand pit. All easily accesssible by the Kusttram Cardijnlaan stop too if you come visit by tram.Written October 7, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stefaan BNieuwpoort, Belgium54 contributionsHas been used during WWI, was the former Railway station. Gives a good impression how poor the defence was on Belgian side but it was effective.
