Valga's red-brick station
The railway made Valga the fastest-growing town in Estonia in the early 20th century. At the end of 1889 a red-brick station in historicist style was completed here, along with a roundhouse and workshops where almost 500 people worked before the First World War. The station was destroyed in 1944. In its place rose a new building by architect V. Tsipulin, finished in 1949 and said to have been built by prisoners of war. It has a seven-storey tower and the original chandeliers in its waiting hall, and since 2017 it is a protected monument. Some red-brick railway buildings from the old era still survive around it. The old station's exact spot is approximate.

Eesti keeles
Raudtee tegi Valgast 20. sajandi alguses Eesti kõige kiiremini kasvava linna. 1889. aasta lõpul valmis siin punastest tellistest historitsistlik vaksalihoone ning sellega koos pöörddepoo ja töökojad, kus enne Esimest maailmasõda töötas ligi 500 inimest. Jaamahoone hävis 1944. aastal. Selle asemele kerkis arhitekt V. Tsipulini hoone, mis valmis 1949. aastal ja mille olevat ehitanud sõjavangid. Sellel on seitsmekorruseline torn ja ootesaalis algupärased laelühtrid ning alates 2017. aastast on see kultuurimälestis. Ümberringi on säilinud ka mõned vanad punastest tellistest raudteehooned. Vana jaamahoone täpne asukoht on ligikaudne.
