The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified Kerava railway station as a nationally significant built cultural environment.[1][2]
History
Kerava railway station was opened in 1863 and the first station building was built the same year, but it soon ended up being way too small for the station.[1] The current Renaissance Revival style station, designed by architect Knut Nylander, was built in 1876−1878 and expanded in 1904.[1]
Kerava became a junction station in 1874, as the Kerava−Porvoo line was opened.[2] In September 2006, a new railway line to Lahti starting from the Kytömaa station at the northern side of Kerava station was opened.[1]
The railyard has been modified several times, last time in 2000−2001.[1] Freight traffic at the station ceased in 2002.
