 The dining room of Palais des Thermes (Ostend) with the coloured  glass wall representing the sea with seagulls, where Valerie and  Stefan are eating the first evening and where countess Bathory sees  them for the first time, still exists but the trinkhall (300 meters  from the hotel) with the seduction scene between countess Bathory  and Valerie ("little Edelweis") is no longer there. The entrance  hall is at Hotel Astoria (with the conversation with Pierre and  where countess Bathory is knitting), but the rooms and windows are  shot at the Grand Hotel des Thermes. If countess Bathory has been  there 40 years ago, this is not probable because the hotel is build  only in 1932 and the action takes place in 1970...
