The station was built in 1873. The initial wooden building was demolished in 1890 and rebuilt in stone. During  WW 2 Minsk railway station was completely destroyed. It was rebuilt in 1945-1946 and served until 1991. The new building (pictured here) as Minsk-Passazhyrski railway station was built between  1991-2002. Minsk Passazhirsky is the hub of national passenger transport. It is also servesy several international trains to and from Europe.
