The metro station opened on 6 October 1982 as part of the Beekkant–Bockstael extension of former line 1A. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of lines 2 and 6.[2][3]
In 2025, the station's decor was refreshed to include decorative elements featuring marbles, designed by the local artist Sarah Vanagt.[4]
