Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n

Aalten railway station (abbreviation: ATN) is a station of the large GOLS type on the Arnhem-Winterswijk railway line. Construction began in 1884 for the Geldersch-Overijsselsche Lokaalspoorwegmaatschappij (GOLS), and the station opened on 15 July 1885.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

This station type had a rectangular floor plan, with a gable facing both the street and the platform. The ground floor contained a ticket office, luggage room, entrance hall with ticket window and waiting room. The stationmaster’s residence was on the upper floor.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 1919, Aalten station was remodelled: the left wing was doubled in size, a low wing was added to the right-hand section, and an extra storey was added to the central part. The building has remained largely unchanged since then.<\/p>\n\n\n

After 2006, the building passed into private ownership after Nederlandse Spoorwegen sold it by public tender. The station building is designated as a municipal monument. In August 2021, when the Dutch page was written, it was being offered for sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
