The Hulst Station (Hul) is the former train station of the municipality of Hulst in the Dutch province of Zeeland . It was a stop on railway line 54, which led from Terneuzen to the Belgian city of Mechelen .
The original station building was erected in 1871 and opened when the line went into operation on August 27, 1871. The location was the western side of a square-like extension directly at the south-western exit of the old town surrounded by a moat, today's “Stationsplein”. The reception building consisted of a two-storey central, gable roof structure and two lower flanking wings.
When the line was closed in October 1951, only one connection to Sint-Niklaas was maintained from Hulst . On May 18, 1952, the station was completely closed to travelers. In 1960 the station building was demolished and replaced by a service building for the Dutch Railways , which has since been demolished.
Only two groups of storage buildings remain from the former station buildings, including the former goods hall , which is now used as a restaurant: a very sober red brick building with a gable end with pilaster strips.
During the nationwide project for the inventory of monuments (MIP) they were classified as remnants of the station and, because of their formative importance for the rest of the development of the station district, as historically valuable buildings.
