About this site

Karjaa's extensive station area is divided by large differences in level, the railway and the bridges crossing it into several sections that differ from each other in character. On one side is the station building with its lime tree rows. On the other side of the railway was a large freight traffic area, from which the goods warehouses were demolished in 2006. At the corner of Allingåsgatan and Edeninkatu is a railway workers' residential area, next to which on the marshalling yard are a locomotive shed with its water towers and smithy. Although the buildings from the Hanko railway era have been demolished, the station complex is exceptionally diverse due to the junction station's character. Karjaa city has grown up with the railway.
