The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Kuvaus

Lapua on yksi Seinäjoki-Oulu -radan pienistä asemista. Sen tyyppipiirustuksilla rakennettu asemarakennus on hyvin säilynyt.

Seinäjoen ja Oulun välisen ns. Pohjanmaan radan varrella oleva yksikerroksinen, poikkipäädyllä varustettu ja uusrenessanssiarkkitehtuuria edustava asemarakennus Lapuan kaupungin keskustassa on radan rakentamisen ajalta.

Asemarakennuksen pohjoispuolella olevassa asuinpihassa on kolme asuinrakennusta sekä niihin liittyvät ulkorakennukset ja maakellarit.

Historia

Päätös Vaasan radan jatkamisesta Seinäjoelta Ouluun tehtiin vuoden 1882 valtiopäivillä. Rataosuus Seinäjoelta Kokkolaan valmistui 1885 ja kokonaisuudessaan rata vihittiin käyttöön 1886.

Lapuan IV luokan asemarakennus rakennettiin tyyppipiirustusten mukaan 1884-1886. Piirustukset suunnitteli ilmeisesti arkkitehti Knut Nylander. Asuinpihan asuinrakennuksista nuorin rakennettiin 1920-luvulla. Asuinpihan rakennukset siirtyivät yksityisomistukseen 1990-luvulla.

Lapuan suuresta ja vauraasta maatalouspitäjästä rautatie välitti pääasiassa maataloustuotteita, viljaa ja rehua, Vaasaan ja eteläiseen Suomeen.

Description

Lapua is one of the small stations on the Seinäjoki-Oulu line. Its station building, built to type drawings, is well preserved.

The single-storey station building in the centre of the town of Lapua, along the so-called Ostrobothnia line between Seinäjoki and Oulu, is fitted with a cross-gable, represents neo-Renaissance architecture and dates from the time of the line's construction.

In the residential yard north of the station building there are three residential buildings, together with the associated outbuildings and earth cellars.

History

The decision to extend the Vaasa line from Seinäjoki to Oulu was made at the 1882 Diet. The section from Seinäjoki to Kokkola was completed in 1885, and the line as a whole was inaugurated for use in 1886.

The Class IV station building at Lapua was built to type drawings in 1884-1886. The drawings were apparently designed by architect Knut Nylander. The youngest of the residential buildings in the residential yard was built in the 1920s. The residential yard buildings passed into private ownership in the 1990s.

From the large and prosperous agricultural parish of Lapua, the railway mainly conveyed agricultural products, grain and fodder, to Vaasa and southern Finland.
