In the 1860s, railway stations belonging to the State Railways were always built to a specific design. Three of these are situated langs de spoorlijn Harlingen–Nieuweschans langs de spoorlijn: Harlingen, Leeuwarden and Winschoten. Winschoten station opened on 1 May 1868, the same day that the Groningen–Winschoten–Nieuweschans railway line was inaugurated. The building can still be admired largely in its original state and is still in use as a station building. Plans to restore the building are now at an advanced stage.
