History

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 the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic. It was designed by the Soviet architect Igors Javeins (1903—1980).

The station also had a refurbishment in 2015 removing one platform and modernizing the others.[2]
