The station area and the reception building are owned by the City of Kronberg. The reception building is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . It is an elongated building south of the tracks from 1914. This replaced the station building built in 1875, which was expanded in 1894 to include a princely pavilion . The two-storey reception building has a three-gable front. All three gables are slated. In the west there is a one-story extension. The platform hall made of cast-iron round pillars and lattice girders also dates from 1914.

The engine shed is not a listed building. Nevertheless, the renovation of this building was honored with the monument protection prize of the city of Kronberg in 2012.
