CENTRAL STATION (CENTRAAL STATION)
Gare centrale, the cathedral of railways built by architect Louis de La Censerie from 1895 to 1905, with a steel and glass hall
This "cathedral of the railways" is breathtaking. Renovated in 2009, it was built by the architect Louis de La Censerie between 1895 and 1905. The platforms are reached by a monumental staircase. The trains enter under a curved glass roof with a parabolic structure. The hall is made of steel and glass. In the past, first class passengers used to wait in a room that looked more like a Versailles ballroom than a waiting room.
