Description
The Novoelnya village is known in Belarus not only for its temples. Since the 19th century, the railway line from Vilnius to Luninets has passed here and the corresponding infrastructure has begun to form. A cast-iron station was built in Polish time. In 1923, a much larger neo-Baroque and Zakopane style building was erected, which was popular in Poland at that time. The building has two floors. It has two risalites above which there are baroque pediments. In 2023, a commemorative sign "Station Bell" was unveiled for the centenary of the station.

Novoelnya. Railway station building.
The railway line from Vilnius to Luninets has been passing through the town of Novoelnya since the 19th century. The railway was laid in 1884. A few years later, in 1886, a railway station was built in Novoelnya. And after the Polish time, in 1923, a large modern neo-Baroque building was erected.
During the First World War in 1914, the Novoelnya – Novogrudok narrow-gauge railway was built to carry out military transportation, and a steam locomotive depot was built in Novoelnya for the maintenance of trains and wagons. Already in the post–war period in the 1960s, the narrow-gauge railway was dismantled.
In 2023, on the Railway Worker's Day for the centenary of the station, a commemorative sign "Station Bell" was unveiled, which is installed on the station building. Train routes connecting Brest, Gomel and Grodno regions pass through this railway station. The average duration of a train stop is now about 2 minutes.
The station building is two-storeyed stone. It is made with elements of neo-Baroque and Zakopane style. The Zakopane architectural style originated in Poland at the end of the 19th century. It was distributed on the territory of Belarus during the entry of the Belarusian lands during the Polish state in the interwar period of 1921 – 1939. The first projects were implemented in the resort town of Zakopane – hence the name of this trend in architecture.
