Pannenhuis Metro Station

Pannenhuis (French pronunciation: [panənœjs]; Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɑnə(n)ˌɦœys]) is a Brussels Metro station on the northern branch of line 6. It is located in Laeken, in the north-west of the City of Brussels, Belgium. The station takes its name from the street Rue du Pannenhuys/Pannenhuisstraat (lit.'Roof Tile House Street'), which is just to the west, in the municipality of Jette.

The metro station opened on 6 October 1982 as part of the BeekkantBockstael extension of former line 1A. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by line 6.
