Sinaia is the only town in Romania that has two royal railway stations reserved for the arrivals and departures of the royal family or high dignitaries: the old railway station 1886 and the new royal railway station 1938-1940.
The old royal station was built in 1886 by the Sinaia CFR Maintenance Department as a single-story building with a canopy at the main platform located near the passenger building. It was used between 1886 and 1940. From here, the funeral trains of kings Carol I and Ferdinand left for Curtea de Argeș.
After 1948 it was used as a performance hall, library and trade union club, dance hall bar and discotheque.
The new royal train station was built in the years 1938-1940 according to the plans of the architect Duiliu Marcu in a simple and refined architectural style, being finished with stone from the Izvor-Sinaia quarries.
In the official salon there is a large painting by the painter marine commander Dimitrie Știrbei, representing a voivodeship hunt from the 14th century
The last royal train left here in the evening of January 3, 1948. Between 1949 and 1962, the CFR Workers' Club operated in the building, after 1965 the building resumed its function as a presidential protocol station.
