Must-sees

De Haan tram station!

The tram station in De Haan is the only original tram station in the Benelux which is still used today for tram services.

The current tram station was built in 1902. The building came under threat of demolition in 1977, in response to which the De Haan municipality bought the building for a symbolic amount of one Belgian franc. In 1981, it became a listed building by Royal Decree. The building blends in perfectly with the Belle Époque architecture of the De Concessie neighbourhood, which is also under a historic preservation order.
