The station was built in 1873 as Vilenski vakzal, Vilnius
station (Віленскі вакзал). The initial wooden building was demolished in 1890
and rebuilt in stone. During World War II Minsk railway station was completely
destroyed. It was rebuilt in 1945-1946 and served until 1991. The new building
of Minsk-Passazhyrski railway station was built in 1991-2002. (See: http://flynnfrogg.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/by-1248692-minsk-central-station-belarus.html
