Prior to 2021, the station building was located on the Bahnhofstrasse, to the north of the Bösingenstrasse. As part of a major reconstruction project between 2019 and 2021 a new station was built 250 metres (820 ft) to the southeast, on the other side of the Bösingenstrasse, and in the direction of Neuenegg. The new station has a single 330-metre (1,080 ft)-long side platform. There is parking space for 243 bicycles, both in front of the station and on the old right-of-way between the platform and the Bösingenstrasse. A gravel path between the station and the river Sense runs from Laupen to Neuenegg.[6][7] The new station opened, with the rest of the line, in April 2021.[8]
