Lausanne Monument and Karaağaç Station Building
Merkez, Edirne
A monument and museum in Karaağaç commemorating the Treaty of Lausanne, beside an elegant historic railway station.
Its story
Karaağaç, on the south bank of the Meriç, passed from Greece to Türkiye under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. To commemorate this, the Lausanne Monument and Museum opened in 1998 beside the old Karaağaç Railway Station. Built in the early 20th century, the station building served as Edirne's main station until the early 1970s; today it is on the Trakya University campus. Reachable on foot or by bicycle from the Meriç Bridge, the area is especially lovely at sunset.
