Vaivari

The Vaivari railway station building, constructed in 1926, features architectural elements designed by architect P. Federal after the original structure disappeared during World War I.

The establishment of Vaivari in 1911 coincided with the development of Jūrmala as a recreational destination, serving Russian nobles who sought medical treatments in the area.

The station received official recognition as a cultural heritage site in 1998, with registration number 5348 in the Latvian national monument registry.

Located on the Torņakalns-Tukums II railway line at coordinates 56.955081, 23.669025, the station connects travelers to major Latvian cities and coastal attractions.

The surrounding area transformed from a marsh into a medical center, starting with the 1899 Red Cross Sanatorium and later becoming a specialized facility for bone tuberculosis treatment.
