The first station here opened on 21 September 1877 as one of the original intermediate stops on the new
railway line from Riga to Tukums via Jūrmala. 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
Igor Yaveyn (1903—1980). The station also had a refurbishment in 2015 removing one platform and modernizing the others. == References ==
