Loimaa railway station

The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified Loimaa railway station as a nationally significant built culturual environment.

[1] The Renaissance Revival style[2] station building, likely designed by Knut Nylander (who was the building designer of Finnish State Railways at the time), was completed in the same year as the station was opened.

[1] Around the time of Finland's independence, Loimaa already resembled a market town with its stores, banks, chapels and electric lights.

[1] By the end of the 19th century, there were plans to make Loimaa into a junction station by building a new railway line from Helsinki to Peipohja station (current Kokemäki), offering a more direct train connection to Pori.

[1] Loimaa station became remotely controlled in 2000, but the ticket sales office remained open until 2008.
