The reconstruction of Nyugati Railway Station has reached another milestone. This year’s work has completely renewed the Teréz körút façade, the towers and the main staircase. Thus, the station will once again welcome passengers in its original splendour during the festive season.
The Teréz körút façade and main staircase of the Nyugati Railway Station were completed by Christmas, and the renovation of the towers was also finished, MÁV reports.
The renovation of the passenger hall and façade of the Nyugati Railway Station is being carried out in several phases, with many details being restored to their original appearance over the past few years. The renewal of the Teréz körút façade has now been fully completed: the works carried out in 2023 included the reconstruction of the main façade, the façade towers and the main staircase, the statement reads.
The façade of the part of the building facing the Teréz körút, which has been hidden behind a scaffold for years, has undergone a complete renovation from the roof to the pavement level, including the towers. The renovation has involved the work of many building specialists and more than fifty restorers to restore the building to its original grandeur and preserve it for posterity.
Work on the Teréz körút façade of the railway station, the plinth, windows and the main staircase ascent was also completed, completing the unparalleled view of one of Budapest’s most beautiful public buildings for the holidays.
