Boxmeer railway station

Boxmeer railway station is a white building located in Boxmeer along the Nijmegen-Venlo railway line, with asymmetrical design featuring a taller residential section alongside the station function. A central entrance provides access to a small shop and platforms serving regional train connections.

The station opened on June 1, 1883, along the Nijmegen-Venlo railway line, designed by architect M.A. van Wadenoyen. It holds Rijksmonument status as a protected example of late 19th-century railway architecture.

The structure reflects typical late 19th-century Dutch railway building design with its white facade and mixed-use approach combining station and residential space. This arrangement was common for smaller stations, blending practical transport infrastructure with local community needs.

The station is operated by Arriva with regular regional train services connecting Nijmegen, Venlo, and Roermond throughout the day. The location is small and straightforward to navigate, with a minimarket inside the building for basic needs.

A precise replica of this station exists in the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Nagasaki, Japan, representing Dutch architectural heritage abroad. The recreation demonstrates how this modest local structure gained international recognition.
