Blankenberge has an awe-inspiring eye-catcher. Not a Flemish singer on the dike, but ‘The One’, a 40-metre luxury tower that looms up at the gate of the city. The striking project of the Van Tornhaut family shows how a small seed can germinate into a beautiful tree in the right soil. “There are people who don’t buy it because it is Blankenberge, but in Knokke you pay double for this.”
