It was designed by Swedish architects and it opened on 2 November 1871, when the station's first train arrived from Beloostrov.

From 1873 to 1886 it was operated by the private "Societies of the Sestroretsk railway".

[1] The organization was devastated in the mid-1880s and, on 1 January 1886, the station was closed along with the branch.

Sestroretsk armory was a leading defensive factory and it was necessary to connect it with the country's railway system.

After the revolution Sestroretsk armory had practically stopped production and, in the 1920s, there was a complication of relations between the USSR and Finland.
