This place is one of the biggest highlights of Haapsalu. There are many soviet era train engines, both junk and semi-conserved one, which look beautiful as well as remind of the years gone by. If you are into photography, you can get some great shots here. The Läänemaa tervesitee also brings one here when coming by bike.

Great if you're into trains. Some very decent locomotives, but actually the wooden train station itself is a piece of beautiful architecture. The trains look especially beautiful in the evening/sunset light. Pity that they are not covered and therefore are exposed to rain.
Would say one of the highlights of Haapsalu.

This is an fantastic historic building that served as the main railway station in Haapsalu.

Construction started in May 1904 of the main wooden building, with limited train service starting in December 1904.

The railway station has several buildings: the passenger terminal, a train control pavilion, a terrace with roof and a covered platform with a total length of 216 metres.

It was designed by architect Karl Verheim and engineer V. Vestfalen, with final construction taking place during 1905–1907.

Today is serves as a train and communication museum.
Trains are not in the best condition.

At the time of its creation, Haapsalu Railway Station had the longest covered platform in Europe (214 m). The station, built in 1907 by the St. Petersburg architect Verheim, is today a monument and museum and really worth to visit.
very nice and beautiful place... it gives a feeling back to the past! Even the old locomotives are an experience for young and old.
