History
The Galician Carl Ludwig Railway built the first railway station in Lviv. Its location was chosen through a competition. In 1861 he was inaugurated. The architect Alfred Zachariewicz was entrusted with the construction of the reception building, which he built in neo-gothic style.
As the capital of Galicia, however, took the city with growing traffic soon a new, representative and larger station. In 1888 the architect and graduate of the Technical University of Lviv, Wladyslaw Sadlowski, commissioned with the planning. The plan was completed in less than one year.

The train station is relatively far away in the west from the city center and is served by a tram. Construction began in 1899. 1904 the station was opened.
At its large courtyard is a second station, which is used to transport and was taken after the Second World War in operation.

It is a two -winged building in neo-classical style with decorative elements of Art Nouveau, the center of which is emphasized by a dome. It consists of a screwed steel.
