You get off a crowded train and onto the platform. Or you walk quickly from the city center to catch your train. And then it's suddenly quiet. For a moment, you hear nothing except the echo of children's laughter. The imposing station hall makes Groningen Central Station one of the most beautiful station buildings in the Netherlands.

Whether it's early in the morning or late in the afternoon: you'll always see people looking up in the station hall. They're marveling at the ceiling and the impressive tile murals by Groningen artist F.H. Bach. The hall is a so-called "salle des pas perdus", literally translated as a hall of lost steps. This refers to the acoustics of the hall, but also to its function.

The station hall, also known as the "Cathedral of the Winged Wheel", is without a doubt the reason why the Central Station is considered one of the most beautiful station buildings in the Netherlands. But the rest of the station building is also worth a visit. Groningen has had a train station since 1866; the current building was built at the end of the 19th century. Standing next to the statue of "Peerd van Ome Loeks" on the Stadsbalkon, you have a great view of the façade with its mix of late Gothic decorations, rose windows and Renaissance gables.
