Pannenhuis metro station

Pannenhuis is a metro station in the northern part of Brussels, featuring two tracks with a central platform for boarding and exiting trains. The station sits along line 6, connecting the Laeken area to other sections of the city's rapid transit network.

The station opened in 1982 as part of an expansion of the metro network toward the north of Brussels. In 2009, it was reassigned to a different line when the metro system underwent a reorganization.

The station name comes from the nearby Rue du Pannenhuys, reflecting how street names in this bilingual area of Brussels connect to local identity. Walking through the station, you notice signs in both French and Dutch, showing the dual character of this northern district.

The station is accessible for people with reduced mobility and offers facilities for wheelchair users. You will find clear signage and marked exits to help you navigate the station.

The station was originally part of a different metro line and was reassigned during a major network redesign in 2009. This change reflects how urban transit systems adapt and evolve to better serve their cities.
