Scheemda (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxeːmdaː]; abbreviation: Sda) is a railway station in Scheemda (actually Eexta) in the Netherlands. It is located on the Harlingen–Nieuweschans railway between Zuidbroek and Winschoten in the province of Groningen. The station was opened on 1 May 1868 as 'Scheemda-Eexta'. The train services are operated by Arriva. There is a connection to a bus service operated by Qbuzz.
History
The station building was completed in 1865. Train services started on 1 May 1868.[1]
Location
The railway station is located at the Stationsstraat in the village of Scheemda in the east of the province of Groningen in the northeast of the Netherlands.[1] It is situated on the Harlingen–Nieuweschans railway, also called Staatslijn B, between the railway stations of Zuidbroek and Winschoten.[2] From 1908 to 1934, the Heiligerlee railway stop was situated between Scheemda and Winschoten.[2]
Building
The 19th-century station building is of the type SS 4th class,[1] which was probably designed by architect Karel Hendrik van Brederode.[3] Fifteen buildings of this type were built in the Netherlands between 1862 and 1890, of which seven remain today.[4]
The building has been a national heritage site (Dutch: rijksmonument) since 2001.[5]
