Why visit

The broad station area built on the shore of Lake Jyväsjärvi opens out around the old station building — an ensemble where the former station, dwelling houses and outbuildings still stand side by side.

Look for: Notice the separate station restaurant completed in 1916 beside the station building, and the footbridge that separates the stationmaster's house from the rest of the residential area.

About this site

Jyväskylä's former station building is situated in the southern part of the extensive station area built by the shore of Jyväsjärvi. Next to it is a separate station restaurant completed in 1916, and on the other side two residential buildings and outbuildings. A pedestrian bridge separates the station master's house from the rest of the residential area. The current travel centre (2002) is located on the northern side of the old station area.
