WELCOME in OSTEND... STATION
#AbFav_WINDOWS_DOORS_💒
Renovated and 'modernised' welcomes you in Ostend, West Flanders, Belgium.
The first station in Ostend was opened in 1838 during the reign of Leopold I of Belgium on the former Belgian railway line 62 to Torhout and is now a supermarket.
Before it was demolished, we went roller skating in it!
The NMBS station was opened in 1913 during the reign of Albert I of Belgium.
The station is designed to connect trains and ferries and is built with Scottish Granite, Bluestone from Soignies and Limestone from Euville.
It is constructed in a classical style of architecture inspired by the French architect from the 18th Century François Mansart and the Louis XVI of France style.
For a long time it was also where the ferries and mail-boats had their berth. You could come from London-->Dover-->Ostend-->anywhere in Europe!
The station was served by a daily Thalys high speed service to Paris between 1998 and 31 March 2015.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
