Lidzbark Warmiński railway station

The station was opened on 1 October 1899, with its first passenger railway connection to Górowo Iławeckie. In the same year, on 15 November, the line to Czerwonka opened.^[3] These railway connections urbanised Lidzbark Warmiński, with numerous new homes and factories being built around the station, bringing jobs to the local area. On 1 September 1905, a new railway line opened from Orneta, via Lidzbark Warmiński to Sątopy-Samulewo.^[4] This made the station a junction. In 1916, a connection to Bartoszyce was opened.^[5]

The last passenger train departed the station on 1 June 1996.^[6] The station was officially closed in 2005,^[1] with all tracks being dismantled in 2012.

In 2022, the abandoned station building was completely restored with a new waiting room (for the bus terminal), a local museum, and a tourist gift shop. The restoration costed 4.2 million PLN.^[7]
