History

The station was built in 1870 as part of a rail line between Kyiv and Podilsk. Initially, the building of the station was made out of wood. A stone building was constructed at the end of the 19th century. In 1940, the current building was constructed. In 1952, it was rebuilt again after being destroyed during the Second World War. The station underwent major renovations in 2003 due to its aging infrastructure.
