The station building closed in 1981. Four years later it was bought by the Kortemark municipal council and given a new destination; From now on the building served as a classroom for the local youth movement. The building was thoroughly renovated in 2011 - 2012.
A piece of history:
On May 11, 1858, the private railway line Lichtervelde-Veurne was put into use by the Flandre Occidentale company. During the following two years, a wooden barracks was used as a station building. A full-fledged station building was built in 1860.
In 1878, the private railway was nationalized by the Belgian state.[2] Sixteen years later, a new station building with post office was built in the typical style of that period. In 1906 it also housed a telephone exchange that served Handzame and the surrounding villages.
During the First World War, the station was used by the German occupiers to supply the nearby airfield. Three runways were constructed by the Flieger Abteilung 19 unit. Mainly bombers and reconnaissance aircraft took off from that airfield. On July 30, 1917, the station came under fire by the Allies.
Until 1965, freight trains stopped at the station. Not much later the unloading quay was demolished. Now the container park and the youth movement's playgrounds are located where the quay used to be.
