History

The first and only horse-drawn tramway of Hungary was built between 1837 and 1846. It was 50 kilometers long and it connected Pozsony with Nagyszombat through the towns of Szentgyörgy, Bazin and Modor. The horses were replaced by steam-powered locomotives in 1872. The station was built between 1839 and 1840 in Empire style.
