Station Menen

Menen railway station is a railway station in Menen, the city of Menen. It also had a branch to the former railway line 65.

From 1842 onwards, Menen was asked to have its own railway line. Originally, they wanted to build a station building within the city, but in the end the station was built just outside the city. After lengthy negotiations, on 15 January 1853 the first train of the Société des Chemins de fer de la Flandre occinale passed through Menin. The original station building was built in 1854-1855, a simple one-storey neoclassical building. In 1890 it was greatly expanded. The station was badly damaged in the First World War. It was restored in 1920, but aerial bombardments in May 1940 destroyed large parts of the reception building again. A new building was built in 1948. In the second half of the 20th century, a number of buildings disappeared.
