Żary railway station

Żary railway station — known as Sorau Bahnhof until May 1945 — is a classicist station building dating from 1846, now protected as an immovable monument under Polish heritage law. It was inaugurated by the Lower Silesian-Mark Railway on the Berlin–Kohlfurt line, one of the early long-distance rail routes in the Prussian state. The end of World War II brought a change of name and nationality to the city, but the station building survived as a rare intact example of mid-19th-century Prussian railway architecture. It continues to serve passengers today and remains one of the few structures in Żary that visibly reflect the city's German past.
