Lt Prenter, 72nd Bn Album - Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Ostend
"Ostend Cathedral". The photo shows a church on a square
Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk (Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul), the main church of Ostend, [West Flanders] 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 World 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.
Photo from album which possibly belonged to Lt Reginald Vigars Prenter (RVP), 72nd Bn.
