History
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.[3]
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.[4]
