Lapinlahti railway station (Finnish: Lapinlahden rautatieasema) is located in the municipality of Lapinlahti in the Northern Savonia region of Finland. Opened in 1902, the station is located on the Savonia railway.
The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified Lapinlahti railway station as a nationally significant built cultural environment.[1][2]
Lapinlahti railway station was opened on July 1, 1902, as the railway between Kuopio and Iisalmi was completed. The station building designed by Bruno Granholm was completed in the same year and was expanded in 1927.[1][2]
Lapinlahti railway station was a significant location in Rautatie, the first novel by Finnish author Juhani Aho published in 1884, despite the fact that the book predates the actual real-life railway station by years.[1]
