Haarlem railway station

Haarlem railway station is located in Haarlem in North Holland, Netherlands. The station opened in 1839, on the Amsterdam–Rotterdam railway, the first railway line in the Netherlands. The original, wooden station was built on the Oude Weg, just outside the Amsterdamse Poort. Within a few years the new railway turned out to be a great success, and in 1842 a permanent station was built. In 1867 the station was redesigned. The current building was built between 1906 and 1908, where tracks were elevated to avoid conflict with the traffic in the city. Haarlem is the only train station in the Netherlands that is built in Art Nouveau style.
