Between 1870 and 1871, at a time when it was included in
Austro-Hungarian Empire, Suceava was connected by a railway line through the Ițcani station to other important cities of
Bukovina region, and through the Burdujeni station with the
Kingdom of Romania. The Ițcani station building (now Suceava North) was raised by two
Austrian entrepreneurs C. Gall and F. Ronchetti, builders of the
Roman—Burdujeni—Ițcani—
Chernowitz rail line, was commissioned in 1871. The station is a building with two levels, following the blueprint of other Austrian railway stations located in
Central European areas, The railway station was chosen to appear in the film because its architecture was reminiscent of the period of
World War II. By 2009 however, the building had reportedly fallen into neglect, and health inspectors fined the local
Romanian Railways authority 1,000
lei for allowing refuse to pile up on the grounds. ==See also==
