Kroměříž Railway Station
History of the station
In 1879 a joint-stock company was founded in Kroměříž and built a private local railway from Kroměříž to Hulín. Services began in November 1880. The town donated the land for the station, and the building was built by the local builder Ladislav Mesenský. Before that, from 1845, Kroměříž was linked to the station in Hulín by two-horse stagecoaches.
Shortly afterwards a local line to Zborovice was added. In 1887 the whole network passed to the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway, which then completed the connection to Kojetín.
A memorial plaque on the building commemorates railway workers who died during the occupation. In 2009 the station underwent a complete modernisation.
