Vilnius railway station is located in the capital of the same name of Lithuania. It was built in the 19th century on the former Petersburg-Warsaw railway.
During the First and Second World Wars, the building was badly damaged. The station was especially damaged in January 1945, when an ammunition train was blown up near it. In the post-war years, the architectural studio "Lentransproekt" (since 1951 - "Lengiprotrans") developed a project for the restoration of the structure.
The area of the building was increased and was able to accommodate up to 1250 people. A waiting room, a lobby, a cash register, a luggage compartment and a recreation room were attached to the main building. The station restaurant was also reconstructed and the station square was improved. The architectural design of the building is made in the style of Stalinist neoclassicism.
