Huisje Nys-Vermoote / Jommekeshuis (guided tour)

Learn about the history of Koksijde through typical old postcards and authentic old postcards and authentic drawings by Jef Nys and his granddaughter. The cottage itself is furnished with authentic furniture from Karel Loppens (1875-1962). This local historian did groundbreaking work (e.g., in the context of the Ten Duinen abbey site, near Huisje Nys-Vermoote). In this typical fisherman's cottage, you will discover how the authentic fishing population lived here. How did they deal with the pros and cons of their simple homes? Heat, cold, wind, and rain: how did the fishermen brave the elements and how did they integrate them into their lives? During a guided tour, you will learn all about 'sustainability avant la lettre'.
