History
De Panne on October 16, 1918, one month before the end of a brutal war. To the left of Villa Catherine stands Villa Ten Duine, which at the time served as the courthouse of Veurne. While the Devré family sat comfortably at home and a court hearing was taking place in the former courthouse, soldiers in Koekelare were firing Long Max shells at De Panne and Veurne... Unfortunately, Villa Ten Duine and Villa Catherine were hit by several shells, killing six people. Miraculously, little Paula, who was sleeping under the stairs at the time, survived the attack. Both villas were rebuilt after the war. Villa Ten Duine was restored to its former state down to the smallest detail. Villa Catherine was given a new, Art Deco-inspired look by the architect brothers Alexis and Jacques Dumont, the sons of Albert Dumont, the architect and founder of De Panne. Today, Villa Catherine is being converted into a luxurious vacation home featuring modern yet authentic and distinctive elements.
