Jyväskylä railway station
- Jyväskylä railway station
The Jyväskylä railway station is located in the city of Jyväskylä, Finland. The station was built in 1897, when Jyväskylä was added into the Finnish railway network and the railway track from Keuruu was built. The track to Suolahti was built in 1898. The station building has been designed according to the style at the time, by the architect Bruno Granholm at the Finnish Railway Institute. The station building represents national romanticist wooden architecture. The station has been expanded in 1923 and from 1968 to 1969. The station also includes the stationmaster's quarters and storage house, and as a later addition the station restaurant designed by Thure Hellström (1916) and two two-floor residential buildings with accompanying service buildings (1921).
The station area is part of the Finnish contract to preserve historically significant station areas, and part of the Finnish Museum Bureau's inventory of significant cultural areas.
The original station was discontinued in 2002 when the new travel centre next to it was built. The old station area was converted into business, service and residential use, and the old station park was expanded.
