Why visit

The light-rendered station building, rising with its towers, is a piece of pared-down, monumental brick functionalism — and forms a striking close to Hämeenkatu. Pause and see how the street leads the eye here.

Look for: East of the station, seek out the run of red-brick station and engine-shed buildings that joins the structures around the customs square and carries great weight in the cityscape.

About this site

The station building, with its whitewashed towers, represents a restrained and monumental brick functionalism. It forms an imposing termination of Hämeenkatu. The red brick row of station and locomotive shed buildings in Tampere connects to the building stock of the customs square east of the station and is of great townscape significance.
