Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul

Absolutely beautiful church with plenty of atmosphere. There was music playing gently in the background and there are impressive stained glass windows. Free to visit but donations appreciated.

Definitely worth a visit while in Oostende. A beautiful and well kept church in the heart of the city. Take your time to enjoy the beautifully well preserved interior. A very nice stop to take!

This church is magnificent and I’ve been fortunate enough to catch the organ recitals when I was visiting, added to the grandeur of the cathedral. The multiple stained glass windows that cast colored light through out are impressive.

A beautiful church to visit. Unfortunately it was closed when i was there but if you are interested in historical arts then its a must.

Amazing architecture. What a peaceful atmosphere. Very picturesque location.

A lovely & beautiful church, it looks like Inspired by the Cologne cathedral. Short walk from the train station. Its a beautiful place must visit in Oostende.

Amazing place, worth to visit

Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk is one of the most striking and admired monuments in Ostend. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Rotary Club Oostende Ter Streep, he commissioned a bronze model of the church. The project was called "Voelkerk" because it gives the visually impaired the opportunity to create an image of a neo-Gothic church. The model was placed on a pedestal in front of the church. On the front is a Braille inscription with a description of the church and a poem by the Ostendian poet Astrid Dewancker. The project was realized in cooperation with the city of Ostend and thanks to the contribution of many generous sponsors. It has become an astonishing exhibit, extraordinary craftsmanship and an absolute attraction for the "Oostende Cultural City of Flanders 2010". Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk (Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul), the main church of Ostend, Belgium, is a Roman Catholic Neo-Gothic church. It is built on the ashes of a previous church that occupied the site. King Leopold II enthusiastically supported a plan to build a new and more magnificent church. Construction started in 1899 and was completed and consecrated by Bishop Waffelaert on August 31, 1908. Its stained glass windows were destroyed during the two Warld Wars and were replaced by windows by Michiel Martens. The church is 70 meters long and 30 meters wide. Its spires are 72 meters high.
