Why visit

The terminus of the Vaasa line stands centrally at the end of Hovioikeudenpuistikko. The single-storey wooden station was built to second-class model drawings, and unusually most of its wooden platform canopy survives.

Look for: Seek out the surviving wooden platform canopy — the station's rarest feature. The station park still holds significant old trees, even though some of its buildings have been demolished.

About this site

The railway station is situated in a central location at the end of Hovioikeudenpuistikko. The single-storey wooden station building has suffered townscape-wise from the multi-storey apartment buildings erected in the neighbouring blocks. Vaasa railway line's terminal station, which was built according to class II standard drawings, has exceptionally preserved most of its wooden platform canopy.

Buildings in the station park have been demolished, but a significant old tree stock remains. The construction of travel centres in the 2000s meant in Vaasa that a glass-steel structured wing was added to the station building's trackside.
