The Haapsalu Station building was
custom designed, because the resort town was a favourite holiday site for the
Russian Tsars. The complex has four parts – the passenger building, Imperial
Pavilion, the colonnade connecting them, and a unique 216-metre-long covered
platform. The first passenger train arrived in Haapsalu in 1905 and the last left in
1995. The old railway embankment has been rebuilt into a 50-km-long
recreational trail. The discarded station It is today a Railway Museum.
