The oldest station in the Netherlands still in use is also one of the most popular. The romantic station building of Valkenburg dates from 1853. It is built of marl and has corner towers and battlements.
Architect Jacobus Enschede created this castle-like design, completely in line with Valkenburg, which became known as a health resort for the wealthy. Not much later, the Geulstadje developed as one of the first tourist destinations in the Netherlands.
On the occasion of KLM's 104th anniversary, this airline traditionally unveiled a Delft Blue House, an artistic replica of a striking existing building in our country. This 104th house is Valkenburg Station, the oldest existing station in the Netherlands. Made from the marl that comes from our quarries. A beautiful promotional film was made by KLM, with a great view of Valkenburg, the region and a special insight into our Municipal Cave.
Watch the video at the bottom of this page and be entranced, come to Valkenburg by train and enjoy the unique Municipal Cave.
