Lviv Railway Station is the first station in modern Ukraine, opened in 1861. However, the current building was built on the site of the old station in 1904. Well-known sculptors and engineers were invited for its construction, so the building is rightly considered a model of European architecture. The clean lines of the facades blend harmoniously with the oval shapes of the windows and niches, decorated with fine sculptures. The station interiors are adorned with patterns of exquisite stucco, and the windows with stained glass. The station building includes 6 waiting rooms that differ in level of comfort, and a restaurant.
Interesting facts:
- The station was built on a marshy area covering 67 morgs.
- One of the reasons for the station's first reconstruction was its inability to accommodate the large volume of passengers, whose number was growing every year.
- When the station opened, only 38 people worked there.
