Valkenburg railway station

The railway station building features marl stone construction with corner towers and crenellations, reflecting traditional Dutch architectural elements from the 1850s.

Built in 1853 as part of the Maastricht-Aachen railway line, this structure stands as the oldest functioning railway station building in the Netherlands.

The station received recognition as a national monument, designated as a Rijksmonument for its architectural value and contribution to Dutch railway heritage.

Located at Stationsstraat 10, the station provides regular train services to Maastricht and Heerlen, with ticket machines accepting cards and coins.

KLM Airlines selected this station as their 104th Delft Blue House miniature, creating a detailed porcelain replica of the historical building.
