Haarlemmermeerstation, Former railway station in Amsterdam-Zuid, Netherlands
Haarlemmermeerstation is a former railway building in Amsterdam-Zuid featuring brick walls with stone bands, tall slate roofs, and two bay windows topped with domes. The structure follows Amsterdam School style and has been converted to host weddings and events, with a preserved historic waiting room and adjoining garden.
The station opened in 1915 as Willemspark Station and served passengers until 1950, then continued as a goods facility transporting coal through 1972. The building reflects an important period in early 20th-century railway expansion around Amsterdam.
The building displays early Dutch architectural details with carefully laid brickwork and decorative stone patterns characteristic of the Amsterdam School. Visitors can still see the historic third-class waiting hall that once served travelers from different backgrounds.
The building is open for events such as weddings and corporate functions and offers both garden and indoor space. Visitors should check in advance about opening hours or guided tours, as the site primarily hosts private occasions.
On Sundays from April through October, visitors can ride vintage trams departing from the platform to Bovenkerk in Amstelveen. This nostalgic journey connects the historic station grounds with a scenic ride through countryside beyond Amsterdam.
