The Ostend Literary Society is a cultural institution in the city that celebrated its centennial in 1887. It has left its mark, in particular in the form of a commemorative medal bearing its name.
The Society was founded to promote literature and culture in Ostend. It contributed to the cultural revival of the city in the 19th century. The existence of this society testifies to the importance of literature and culture in the development of Ostend over the centuries.
