What is retro house 'De Viswinkel'?
The retro house ‘De Viswinkel’ (The Fishmonger's Shop) offers a nostalgic look back at the former fishmonger's shop of the late Georges Vanzeebrouck, where he also ran an ice cream shop and a small artisanal fish smokehouse. The window of the fish shop can always be seen from the street. The exhibition inside will teach you all about the old fishing village and its fishing past. The retro house is an initiative of the association Panneboot P1.
