Why visit

The 1908 Art Nouveau station building now stands in the middle of Kauniainen. Exceptional on its stretch of line and architecturally compelling even after alteration, it rewards a pause.

Look for: Look at the facade's colouring: after the severe fire of September 2008, it was restored to a shade earlier than the one it bore before the blaze.

About this site

Kauniainen railway station building from 1908 is an exceptional and architecturally interesting Jugend building along its railway section, despite having been altered. The station with its yard area is now located in the centre of the city. The station area is divided in an east-west direction on both sides of the railway track and the residential area remains on the opposite, western side of the track, separated by the main road.
