As railway station, Railway station in As, Belgium
As railway station is a station building in the Belgian town of As featuring traditional red brick construction with a pitched roof. The structure houses both passenger facilities and a pub within its walls.
The building opened in 1874 when Belgium was rapidly expanding its railway network during industrialization. It became part of a system linking commercial routes through northern Belgium.
The station building houses a pub where local people gather, keeping alive a long tradition of Belgian railway station social spaces.
The building sits directly beside the railway tracks and is easily walkable from the town center. Visitors can see the platforms clearly and watch trains passing through.
The building combines three distinct purposes under one roof: heritage site status, active railway operations, and a traditional Belgian pub. This unusual mix makes it a special place where history and daily life blend together.
