The station and its park belong to a valued townscape: across the way stands the restored pressing house of Tikkurila Väri with its chimney, and diagonally over the river, the science centre Heureka.
Look for: Notice the brick station building, one of four surviving stations by the architect C. A. Edelfelt — originally a two-storey Renaissance-style building that now holds the Vantaa City Museum.
Tikkurila's brick station building is one of four remaining stations by architect C.A. Edelfelt. The originally two-storey Renaissance building houses the Vantaa City Museum. As Tikkurila has grown, the station park has shrunk to a strip along the railway line ending at the Keravanjoki river. The station building with its park forms part of a valuable urban environment, consisting of the station, the renovated old press building of Tikkurila Väri with its chimney, and the knowledge centre Heureka situated diagonally across the river.
