Dubulti Station is a railway station serving the Dubulti District of the city of Jūrmala, Latvia.[1] The station is situated on the bank of the Lielupe River on the narrow isthmus between the river and the Gulf of Riga.
The station is located on the Torņakalns – Tukums II Railway of the Latvian Railways system.[2] It opened in 1877.
History
[edit]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]
