View of the Koning Albert I Monument

Highlight • Monument

If you cycle through West Flanders, you will inevitably come across remnants of the First World War, known in Flanders as the "Great War". The Museum Westfront Nieuwpoort tells how the Belgians flooded the polder plain to stop the German invasion. Take your time for this fascinating piece of history. In any case, climb to the King Albert I monument to get an impression of the extent of the flood.

King Albert I Monument (Westfront Nieuwpoort)

Highlight • Monument

The King Albert I Monument in Nieuwpoort was erected in 1938 in honour of King Albert I and the Belgian troops during the First World War. The monument, designed by Julien de Ridder, is circular with a diameter of 30 metres and consists of twenty columns made of brick from the IJzer valley. In the centre is an equestrian statue of King Albert I, made by sculptor Karel Aubroeck. On top of the ring beam is a walkway with orientation tables that offer a beautiful view over the IJzer plain. Below the monument is the interactive visitor centre Westfront Nieuwpoort, which tells the story of the flooding of the polder plain in 1914.
