5 Sights in Będzin, Poland (with Map and Images)

Będzin Miasto is a railway station in Będzin, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. The original station building, built around 1859, quickly ceased to meet the needs of the city, due to the partially wooden structure and small cubature. The modern station in the modernist style was designed on an area of 4800 m² in 1927 by the well-known architect Edgar Norwerth. The station building, constructed by Pronaszko and Sobieszek, was put into use in the spring of 1931, with a two-year delay compared to the plans. For many years, the station was one of the most representative buildings of the city, but later its decapitalization began. The station was in a very bad condition, due to many years of neglect of renovation, but in the summer of 2006 renovation works began. Currently, they have been completed – the building houses the m.in seat of the Municipal Guard.
