Casino Kursaal Ostend, Modern casino and concert venue at Albert I Promenade, Belgium
The Kursaal building, featuring a geometric design with curved lines and large windows, stands prominently on Monacoplein square facing the North Sea.
Constructed in 1953 by architect Léon Stynen, this structure replaced the original 1875 casino that German forces destroyed during World War II.
The interior walls showcase murals created by Belgian painter Paul Delvaux, adding significant artistic value to the architectural ensemble.
The venue contains gaming rooms with slot machines and table games, multiple concert halls, and a restaurant serving Belgian cuisine.
The building incorporates a multifunctional floor system that transforms the main hall from traditional theater seating into a standing concert space.
