History
A railway was demanded by Bühler industrialists and plans were made in the 1870s to extend the railway through Bühler to
St Gallen. However, the station needed to be located above the village to maintain a regular gradient of the line. This proved impractical for local industry so the project was abandoned in 1877.
With improvements to railway technology, the project was revived in 1882 and the station was completed in 1889.
The station was renovated in 2021.
