Gare de Saint-Brieuc-Centrale
Gare de Saint-Brieuc-Centrale, Monument historique railway station in Saint-Brieuc, France.
Description
Gare de Saint-Brieuc-Centrale is a former railway station built in stone and brick with eight parabolic arches supporting its vaulted roof at the Boulevard Waldeck-Rousseau junction. The building was later converted to a university cafeteria and is now legally protected as a historical monument.
History
Louis Harel de la Noë designed this station, which operated from 1905 to 1956 as part of the narrow-gauge regional railway network of Côtes-du-Nord. After closure, the building was preserved through conversion and gained official historical monument status in 2014.
Culture
The building reflects early 20th-century French railway design through its stone and brick construction and distinctive vaulted roof. Visitors can observe these architectural choices that defined station design of that era.
Practical
The building is open to the public through its use as a university cafeteria, where you can see the historical architecture inside. Its location at a busy traffic intersection makes it easy to find and access.
Did you know?
The building once served as the central hub for four different railway lines connecting to Plouha, a lighthouse stop, Moncontour, and the western station. This role as a transport hub has completely vanished, with only the architecture remaining as a reminder of its bustling past.
