Gare de Senlis

Gare de Senlis is a railway station building featuring stone walls, tall windows, and architectural details from the 1920s. The structure shows typical features of French railway architecture from that period with a symmetrical facade design.

The original building from 1861 was destroyed during World War I and rebuilt in 1922 by architect Gustave Umbdenstock. This reconstruction has shaped the station's appearance ever since.

The station represents how French railway architecture evolved over time and received official protection as a historical monument in 2001. Visitors can see the typical features of railway buildings from this period reflected in its design.

The grounds are located about 40 kilometers north of Paris and function today as a bus terminal serving connections to neighboring cities. Visitors can reach the location easily using public transport from the capital.

Passenger trains ended here in 1950 and freight services ceased in 1991 before the site became an employment center in 2007. This transformation shows how former railway facilities can take on new roles in the community.
