One of the oldest buildings in the town of Vyhoda was constructed in 1873 as a residence for the Austrian Baron Leopold Popper von Podhrágy.

There was a time when this house received a lot of fun guests or served as the headquarters for the military.

During the Soviet era, the house was transformed into a village club and during the last decades, it was used only on occasion until 2013 when it completely fell into a decline.

In 2015, the building was brought back to life with the opening of the Vyhoda Narrow-Gauge Railway Heritage Center, a new tourist attraction established with EU funding under the cross-border project ‘Carpathian Narrow-Gauge Railways’ and supported by the Ivano-Frankivsk Tourism Association.
