Why visit
Malmi's old station is an exceptional example of the early-1930s railway functionalism of its kind. Unlike the funkis stations of Riihimäki, Kuopio and Hanko, it is two storeys and once reached across the track.
Look for: Notice the building's two storeys, which set it apart from other funkis stations. It fell out of use when the new overpass station was completed beside the shopping centre in 1986.
