De Barkentijn

This corner house (1923), the former property of baron Crombez, is the most beautiful example of Norman style at the Belgian western coast. The sub-structure consists of quarry stone with a framing of hard stone round the segment-arch-shaped cellar windows. The fronts of the ground floor are decorat

ed with draughtboards with alternately "tiles" of brick and sandstone. The second construction layer shows pseudo-framework with wooden balustrade columns. Various dormers and a polygonal corner turret. The lateral and rear gables look similar.
