This train station was build in 1867 and was expanded several times in 1892 and 1896 due to new railway lines crossing the city. It developed into a railroad junction, which also resulted in the conctruction of a locomotive shed. In the following decades it continued serving use as an important train station until the fall of the Iron Curtain, when successively all of the railroads crossing the city were closed down, leading finally to the closure of the whole station in 2011. Even though the reception building is used as a restaurant today, the old railway platforms and the locomotive shed sit abandoned and slowly decay.
