Why visit

Oulu's neo-Renaissance station is the only Class II station on the Seinäjoki–Oulu line, well preserved and closing the vista of Hallituskatu in the city centre. With the station restaurant building it forms a handsome pair.

Look for: See how the station and the restaurant building answer each other as a pair, and note how the new courthouse mass has broken the unity of the area through its centre.

About this site

Oulu's Neo-Renaissance station is the only class II station type on the Seinäjoki-Oulu railway section. It is well preserved and, together with the station restaurant building, forms an imposing pair at the end of Hallituskatu in Oulu city centre. Following the construction of the courthouse, the unity of the station area has suffered from the new building mass dominating the central part of the area.
