Heritage information about the station (description): This is a good example of a rural station that was built by the State Railways in 1908. Characteristic brick architecture in a particularly elaborate decorative design with bricks using bush-hammered natural stone blocks. A so-called 'logis des piocheurs' has also been preserved here. The Landen-Tamines line was abolished in 1959. Building built on an elongated floor plan consisting of: a main volume (home, waiting rooms 1st and 2nd class) of four bays and two storeys under a saddle roof (now with artificial slates, previously with natural slates), a low wing of seven bays (waiting room 3rd class, office, storage area) also under a saddle roof and on the other side an outbuilding (laundry, coal storage area and lampisterie) under a hipped roof. Architecture characterized by natural stone bush-hammered plinth, facades in red smooth brick with horizontal bands (yellow and gray brick) and wooden cornices with profiled cornice blocks. Natural stone blocks with the name of the station are incorporated in the facades. The interior was changed. Separate annex: the so-called 'logement des piocheurs' in half-timbered construction (wood and brick). In the garden of the station master there are two approximately one hundred year old yew trees.

Never just call the former station of Racour-Landen "former station". First of all, there is the protected station itself. Secondly, thirdly, fourthly and so on, there is much more. For example, you have an orchard where you can rest and picnic and pick now and then. There is an information board about the station and one about nature and one about Racour and one about all sorts of other things for the inquisitive among us. And then there are remnants from that station past. There is even the entire area around the station, protected as a village view. That is because of its industrial-archaeological value. But it is also simply beautiful there. Quote: "Because of its industrial-archaeological value, the area around Racour station is also protected as a village view. In addition to the protected station building and the 'logis des piocheurs', the station master's garden with two yew trees of approximately 100 years old and the former railway bed are also part of it."

See https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7164887 Or if you want to see a somewhat older train, just walk on that path past the old station that you can admire from there. Or the miniature of the station. Or beautiful views. Or, well, there is quite a lot and something for everyone I think. Just enjoy this spot and what you see and find on a relatively small surface, for some undoubtedly a spot with multiple highlights.

Racour station was a railway station on line 147 (Landen-Tamines), active from 1893 to 1959. The station building is now a protected monument and partly furnished as a holiday home. A cycle and walking path runs over the former railway line, while at the station some sections of track and old wagons have been preserved.
