        • The first Russian railway, the Tsarskoye Selo line, started here; the first train, with the locomotive Provorny, was driven by Franz Gerstner himself, and Nicholas I was among the passengers.
        • The station changed names: St Petersburg, from 1900 Tsarskoselsky, then Detskoselsky.
        • The present building opened on 1 August 1904 to a design by Stanislav Brzozowski — one of the first public buildings in the Art Nouveau style.
        • The main concourse, more than 20 m high, is covered by a metal dome.
        • Above the main entrance are the coats of arms of Petersburg and Vitebsk, the line's terminals in 1904.
        • On the station's clock tower you can find reliefs of owls.

        • In the 1820s there was a tavern here run by Heinrich Klee, where mostly foreigners stayed.
        • The single "Evropeyskaya" hotel was assembled in 1873–1874 to Ludwig Fontana's design from Klee's hotel and the neighbouring Rogov house.
        • In 1907–1914 Fyodor Lidval rebuilt the interiors and added floors with the summer restaurant "Krysha" (Roof).
        • The ground-floor arcade survives from Carlo Rossi's façade composition.
        • From September 1941 to April 1942 the building housed an evacuation hospital with 1,300 beds.
        • Until 1991 the hotel was called "Evropeyskaya".
