Antwerp Central Railway Station
From Graces Guide
This magnificent structure was built between 1889 and 1905. The steel arched train shed, 186m long, 66m wide, and 43m high, was designed by Clement Van Bogaert. The stone and concrete entrance hall was designed by Louis Delacenserie.
Léon Cosyn, "Chef de Section" of the State Railways was responsible for the structural analysis. There are 17 three-hinged arches.[1]
The station was built as a terminus, but extensive alterations were undertaken in 1998-2007 to accommodate through trains. Tunnels now provide additional terminal platforms at level -1, and through platforms at level -2.[2]
