Kosmos, Westouter, Protected monument in Westouter, Belgium
Hotel Kosmos stands as a three-story yellow brick building with modernist features, including a semi-circular stairwell and large rectangular windows overlooking Hellegatbeek valley.
The building was constructed in 1934 by architect J. De Brabandere from Ieper and operated as a recreational complex until its closure in 2005.
The facility functioned as a youth hotel, featuring multiple accommodation buildings, including Home Boskant with 48 rooms and Home Zeewind with four dormitories.
The complex expanded during the 1960s and 1970s, incorporating a restaurant, café, tennis court, football field, and the only outdoor swimming pool in the region.
The Flemish Land Agency acquired the property in 2009, leading to the demolition of most structures except the main building, which maintains protected status.
