Former station building, Delft

The Former station building in Delft is a Bahnhofsgebäude with ornamental architectural details and large windows in classical proportions. The facade designed by Christiaan Posthumus Meyjes Sr. displays Renaissance Revival elements that distinguish the structure from other buildings in the city.

The building opened in 1885 as a railway station and served as a transportation hub for travelers throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. After ceasing operations in 2005, it gained protected status as a national heritage site and transformed into a preserved piece of Dutch railway history.

The structure received recognition as a Rijksmonument in 2002, cementing its status as a protected national heritage site for future generations.

The building stands next to Van Leeuwenhoeksingel and offers views toward Park Spoorloos. It now functions as a restaurant and office space and is easily accessible on foot.

The upper floor now contains loft office spaces that preserve the original architectural features from the railway station era. This layout shows how the building maintains its historical identity within modern uses.
