It allegedly used stones that were intended for the castle in the park. The main building is flanked by two symmetrical pavilions that are connected by wings to the main building. On the ground floor of the main building there were a ticket hall, a freight handling office and a waiting room for royalty. In the attached buildings there were first, second and third class waiting rooms. Upstairs were the living and service rooms for rail employees and the stationmaster. There is a platform canopy in front of the entrance building on the home platform. The facade of the building has external elements made of Haustein stone and classical details.
