[1] The station building was built in 1903 by Ody & Fils by the design of the architects Broillet & Wulffleff.
[4] The station was opened by the Chemins de fer électriques de la Gruyère at the same time as the Tour-de-Trême to Montbovon section of the Palézieux-Bulle-Montbovon line, on 23 July 1903[5].The Les Avants to Montbovon section of the MOB line was inaugurated a few months later, on 10 October 1903.
[6][7] Due to its high level of use and its role at the junction of two strategic metre gauge lines, the station underwent a major renovation between 2017 and 2019.
The platforms have been extended to 214 and 259 metres, raised and fitted with canopies to protect passengers while they wait in the station.
