Prague - The most beautiful train station in the country this year has become the Opava East train station. A special award for fairytale stations was given to the stations in Nemilkov on the line between Klatovy and Domažlice and the stop in Mnichovice near Prague from the sixth year of the competition. The results of the competition were presented today at the Senate building by representatives of the organizing company, the Entente Florale - Harmony Association.
     The building of the Opava East train station was constructed in 1851 according to the design of architect Ernest Ehrenhaus in the late classical style. It is located at a branch of the former Northern Railway of Emperor Ferdinand.
