" Antwerpen Main Station.The Clock and the main level. 06.08.17, 16:26:18.Being there again.What an amazing building ! Last time was in my childhood...No. 5835.

The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen. A plaque on the north wall bears the name Middenstatie.

The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium,[1] although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald's novel Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist.

In 2009 the American magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth greatest train station.[2] In 2014 the British-American magazine Mashable awarded Antwerpen-Centraal the first place for the most beautiful railway station in the world.[3]

La gare d'Anvers-Central (en néerlandais : station Antwerpen-Centraal) est une gare ferroviaire belge des lignes 25 de Bruxelles à Anvers et 12, d'Anvers à Essen (frontière), située sur la place Reine Astrid à proximité du centre de la ville d'Anvers, chef-lieu de la province d'Anvers en Région flamande. Elle est considérée comme l'un des monuments les plus fastueux de Belgique et l'une des plus belles gares du monde.

Depuis mars 2007, les travaux de la gare et les réaménagements des voies sur trois niveaux ont permis de créer une liaison directe vers les Pays-Bas via un tunnel ferroviaire sous la gare et la ville, alors que la gare était historiquement une gare terminus.

Der Bahnhof Antwerpen-Centraal (niederländisch Antwerpen-Centraal, französisch Anvers-Central) ist ein Bahnhof der NMBS/SNCB in Antwerpen (Belgien). Täglich wird er von ca. 540 Zügen frequentiert. Es existieren Verbindungen nach Rotterdam (– Amsterdam), Gent (– Kortrijk), Brügge (– Ostende), Brüssel, Lüttich, Neerpelt und Puurs. Er liegt am Astridplein östlich der Antwerpener Altstadt, unmittelbar neben dem berühmten Zoo."
