The first station was opened here in 1877.
The current Modernist style concrete building was completed in 1977. The sculptural concrete shell structural section resembles a wave, and was claimed as the most modern station building in LSSR. It was designed by the Soviet architect Igors Javeins (1903—1980).[2]
