PKP SA has signed a construction contract to reconstruct the historic Pasłęk railway station, currently closed, with completion planned for the second half of 2028.
Polish State Railways (PKP) has concluded a tender and signed a contract with a contractor for the reconstruction of the historic railway station in Pasłęk, in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. Initial work is due to begin this summer, with completion scheduled for the second half of 2028. The project is valued at over PLN 19 million gross.
The station, currently closed, will be rebuilt with attention to historical detail before reopening to passengers. Its interior will be modernised to meet current passenger service standards, with the ground floor housing a waiting room, public restrooms, a ticket machine and a vending machine. Under a separate agreement between PKP SA and the Pasłęk local government, the city will lease all 700 square metres of commercial space in the completed building to house a community service and integration centre.
Accessibility improvements planned
Following the renovation, the station will become more accessible to people with disabilities and those with limited mobility, with architectural barriers removed and accessible paths and restrooms introduced. The building will also be fitted with modern security and intelligent building management systems, while the surrounding area will gain new pavements, a car park and landscaping.
The current station is not the first on the site. Rail first reached Pasłęk in 1882, when a temporary, single storey building was constructed, with a more substantial station following in 1912 in a modernist style. Despite damage during wartime conflicts and subsequent alterations, the building has retained its characteristic shape and brick facades, though much of its original interior has been lost.
Paweł Lisiewicz, member of the PKP SA management board for investment and development, said: “We strive to improve the quality of passenger service at PKP stations across Poland, and our priority is identifying the needs of passengers and other users of these facilities. Therefore, we also make decisions to restore passenger service at stations where it has not been provided for many years, such as in Pasłęk.”
The reconstruction has been divided into two stages. Design documentation, prepared by Maple sp. z o.o. of Katowice, has already been completed. Construction will now be carried out by TEXOM SA of Kraków, following a competitive tender process.
