Zgorzelec Miasto lit. 'Zgorzelec City' is a railway station in the town of Zgorzelec, Lower Silesia, Poland. It is one of the two railway stations in the town, the other being Zgorzelec.
The station, including the station building, both opened in 1976.[1] The station building never received the care it needed, and, was closed in the early 2000s, and left abandoned.[citation needed] Whilst the station building still stood, Zgorzelec Miasto was considered to be one of Poland's ugliest railway stations.[2][3][4]
There were many proposals in which the building would be demolished, for the opening of new commercial spaces. For example, in 2018, there was a proposal of a 3,500 m2 (38,000 sq ft) shopping centre being built, with new also new station facilities, which would have included a waiting room and ticket hall.[5]
It was only until 2024, when the building was finally demolished. The mayor of Zgorzelec said the owner of the building has an agreement with Polish State Railways on opening commercial spaces on the site of the former building.[6][7]
