Vitebsky Station - owls on the tower

Travelers departing from Vitebsky Station have their own wise bird. The vertical dominant feature of the building is a tall clock tower with an impressive picturesque silhouette. You are usually in a hurry, rushing along, but if you take a moment to look at the clock on the tower, you can see an owl above it, spreading its wings. It is ready to take flight and invites you on a journey. Architects Brzozovsky, Ostrovsky, and Minash were well-known experts and lovers of owls. The modern-style station building was opened on August 1, 1904.
