Brest railway station, Railway station in Brest, France
The railway station features a prominent clock tower and serves as a central transportation hub connecting multiple regional and national rail lines in Brittany.
Opened in 1865, the current station building was designed by architect Urbain Cassan between 1936 and 1937 to replace an earlier structure.
The station received recognition as a historical monument and twentieth-century heritage site, reflecting the evolution of French railway architecture.
Located at an elevation of 43 meters, the terminal station provides connections to Paris and other major French cities through regular train services.
