Osseghem Metro Station
Osseghem (French, former Dutch spelling) or Ossegem (modern Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station on lines 2 and 6. It is located under the Chaussée de Gand/Gentse Steenweg in the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, in the western part of Brussels, Belgium. The station takes its name from the nearby Osseghem/Ossegem neighbourhood.
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.
