Former Schijndel Station
The distinctive white station building is now a private residence.
Close your eyes and imagine: murmuring voices, footsteps. The jingle of small coins. The tearing and punching of tickets. The ringing of train signals. The whistle of a steam train about to depart. The smell of grease. It’s hard to imagine now, but this is what it was like here 150 years ago. A time when Schijndel had a station on the route between Boxtel and Wesel, Germany. The distinctive white station building is now a private residence.
The station didn’t just play an important role in passenger transport—it was also vital for local trade. Wooden clogs, calves, pigs, linseed, and later, daily shipments of boxes filled with stockings and socks from the Jansen de Wit factory in Schijndel were loaded onto freight wagons at this very spot.
