History

The first train arrived there on 24 January 1842. A first neoclassical stone building dating from the 1840s was later dismantled and replaced to serve as the railway station of the town of Leuze-en-Hainaut.

The current station building was designed by the architect Henri Beyaert and erected between 1874 and 1879. The monumental building originally included a glass and iron construction covering the platforms and rails, and a freight station located in a separate building conceived in the form of a late-medieval Flemish cloth hall.

The buildings were severely damaged during World War II. The structure covering the platforms and rails was demolished and replaced by simple awnings covering the platforms.
