Railway Station/Estonian Railway Museum

The town's pride and joy railway station was built in 1907 to accommodate the expected visits by the Tsar's family. Ironically the Imperial train never pulled in here, but the town was left with one of the most impressive railway buildings in the Baltics. Visitors can stroll down the long platform and take a look at a few old engines parked on the tracks. Train service ended here in 1995, but there's a button you can press in the waiting hall to hear what it sounded like when an old locomotive pulled in. The outdoor areas are free and always open, but €2 will get you into the museum, which is built into what was the Imperial waiting hall. Here you'll see a recreated railway office, lots of old equipment and other train-related treasures. A small exhibit this summer celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Keila-Haapsalu line.

Admission €2.
