Gare de Nouvel-Avricourt

The station building, designed in Neo-Romanesque style with four corner towers, extends 100 meters in length and 18 meters in width.

Constructed in 1875 as Deutsch-Avricourt station, it marked the boundary between France and the German Empire following territorial changes.

The railway complex included residential areas for workers, arranged in a strict social hierarchy that reflected the period's organizational structure.

Located at 283 meters elevation, this decommissioned station received monument status in 2019 and stands along the Noisy-le-Sec to Strasbourg line.

The Orient Express passed through this station where French trains operated on the left side, with signage exclusively in German during its early years.
