A Dunedin icon worth stopping to see
You can’t really explore Dunedin without coming across the beautiful Dunedin Railway Station.
Often called the “Gingerbread House”, this grand building was opened in 1906 and is one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Its striking Flemish Renaissance-style architecture, ornate details and colourful mosaic floors make it just as impressive inside as it is from the outside.
Once one of New Zealand’s busiest railway stations, it now stands as a reminder of Dunedin’s railway history and is still a much-loved part of the city.
Take a moment to wander through, admire the architecture and have a look at the stories held within one of Dunedin’s most photographed buildings. 📸
A little piece of Dunedin history that’s definitely worth a visit!
