About this site

Lahti's current, third in order, brick station building is situated at the city's southern edge. It differs from the other 1930s functionalist stations in its proportions and choice of materials. The architecture, representing the transitional phase between Classicism and Functionalism, is emphasised by the dark Santamäki brick used as the building material. The depot area with residential buildings and schools is approximately one kilometre from the station to the west, at the corner of the old harbour railway that branched off to Vesijärvi and the main line.
