History[]
The first station was built in the years 1845-1846, during the construction of the Warsaw-Vienna railway. In 1873 the station was enlarged and then extended by architect Czesław Domaniewski. The current postmodern architectural style station building was designed by architect Ryszard Frankowicz,[2] on November 9, 1996, on the 150th anniversary of the railroad reaching Częstochowa. It was officially opened by the then President of Poland, Aleksander Kwaśniewski.[3] On May 24, 1997, a monument with the bust of Władysław Biegański was unveiled in front of the station.[4]
According to the Gazeta Wyborcza ranking of 2008, Częstochowa railway station was considered the third most beautiful station in Poland, behind Białystok railway station and Lublin railway station.[5]
