History

The original station was built in 1861 during construction of the Riga–Daugavpils Railway. Originally its name was Ringmundhofa. During the First World War the station was severely damaged, and after the war the building was demolished.

In 1922 a new station building was erected with the name Rembate, as one of the first newly built station buildings in the independent Latvian state.

In 1926, the station was renamed Lielvarde.

The Second World War again brought severe damage to the station. Again station restoration was not possible, and in 1950 a new station building was constructed. This station building has survived to the present day.
