Kropswolde railway station

Kropswolde railway station is a transport facility in Hoogezand-Sappemeer with two platforms alongside double tracks serving regular train connections. The site provides reliable access to nearby towns and cities through daily Arriva services across the region.

This station was established in 1868 as part of railway expansion in Groningen province. A major renovation in 1989 updated the structure while preserving its character for continued rail operations.

The station building houses a museum displaying regional crafts, vintage industrial tools, and exhibits about the area's manufacturing heritage. You can explore how local trades and industries shaped the development of this community.

The station sits at a central point in the local transport network with good connections to regional bus services. Plan your trip ahead since trains depart at different times depending on your destination.

The station owes its importance to a grassroots movement in 1892 when 97 local residents petitioned to expand a simple halt into a proper station. This community-driven effort transformed the site into a major transport hub for the entire region.
