Stationhuset on Hjalmar Gullbergs Plan in Falsterbo was originally a railroad station. Today it is a art center, Falsterbo Konsthall and in 2007 Vellinge Kommun took over the responsibility for the gallery.

Between 1903 and 1971 it was a Stationshus for the SJ, the Swedish railways.
The station building was built in 1903 and designed by architetc Theodor Wåhlin who have been inspired by the Scanian churches whites stepped gables. The ground floor housed a the waiting room, cargo handling and ticket sales, the top floor was the home of the stationmaster and his family.

The building was used as a station until 1971 when the last train from Falsterbo resigned.

Before the gallery went over to Vellinge was driven by the Foundation St. Olaf’s Guild. Here it was originally Magnus Liedholm, noble blacksmith, who in 1975 had the idea of forming an association of artists who lived on the Isthmus. St. Olaf’s Guild was formed in 1975 and moved the business into the station house.

In the gallery’s back is now an old train wheel and a small exhibition on the station house’s history and about the time the train went all the way to Falsterbo.
