The historic Marciszów railway station

Model by Atlas 3D – photogrammetry in Poland

Located in the heart of Lower Silesia, the railway station in Marciszów is not just an important point on the region’s railway map—it is a living witness to the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped this part of Poland. Built in the second half of the 19th century, the station became a key junction on the Wrocław–Jelenia Góra–Zgorzelec line. At its peak, it served both passenger and freight traffic, connecting nearby mines, industrial facilities, and communities with the rest of the region.

The station building is a classic example of German railway architecture from the era—solid, brick-built, featuring distinctive red brick details, tall windows, and a steep gabled roof. Despite the passage of time, many of these elements remain intact, though the building is now in need of urgent renovation. Historic platforms, tracks, and technical buildings have also survived on the site, preserving the industrial atmosphere of a bygone era.

Interestingly, Marciszów station is still operational—though on a limited scale. Regional trains still stop here on routes to Jelenia Góra, Wrocław, and Legnica, but only parts of the station are currently in use. The waiting room and ticket office remain closed. Despite that, the station still has life in it—serving both as a transit point and a place of interest for railway enthusiasts, historians, and architecture lovers.

Thanks to modern photogrammetry methods, it was possible to recreate the Marciszów station as a 3D model—helping to preserve this fragment of Lower Silesia’s technical heritage from being forgotten. It is one of many stops on the map of the Atlas 3D project, which documents architectural and cultural treasures across Poland.
