Old Railway Station and Casino, Swakopmund, Namibia

Swakopmund was the starting point of the first state railway line in German South West Africa. The railway station was built in the Wilhelminian style in 1901, as a terminal on the Imperial Germany's colonial Kaiserliche Eisenbahn line connecting Swakopmund with Windhoek. The station building was declared a national monument in 1972. Nowadays it hosts the Swakopmund Hotel, exhibition center and casino.
