De Panne, located on the westernmost edge of the Belgian coast in West Flanders, has a history that is as rich as it is diverse. Its strategic location on the North Sea has made it a place of human activity for centuries. Archaeological discoveries suggest that the area was already inhabited during prehistoric times. Over the centuries, De Panne evolved from a quiet fishing village into a royal seaside retreat, and eventually into a beloved coastal town known for tourism, history, and natural beauty. The town's name is thought to derive from the old Flemish word "pannehove," meaning a kind of shelter or lodge used by coastal farmers and fishermen.
