The station was built by Finnish State Railways as the railhead feeder of Riihimäki–Saint Petersburg railway. It was designed by Swedish architects and it opened on 2 November 1871, when the station's first train arrived from Beloostrov.[1] The Sestroretsk spur line was constructed to serve Sestroretsk armory.
