Background information:
This station was built around 1885. In the '80s a new, smaller station building raised next door. So the old station has lost its original function. However, it is still ever-present and now houses the other features such as a restaurant. In the more than 130 year existence of the building, it was adapted and rebuilt several times, but the main structure and even most of the external details have been be saved.
Architectural details:
The station is constructed of masonry walls. It has a main building with a wing on both sides, with saddle roofs. Above the windows are segment bows. At some locations, there is also ornamental masonry, for example in the form of a rosette in the end walls. The station is equipped with old fashioned rooftiles and has graceful finished gutters. Although the building looks like Station Leerdam they are definitely not the same.The scale has eleven separate light compartments.
