Żywiec railway station is a railway station in Żywiec, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It is located in the Zabłocie district of the town, on Dworcowa Street.[2] PKP classifies it as an "agglomeration station".[3]
The station was opened in 1878, along a railway to Bielsko. Since 1884, it was a part of the Galician Transversal Railway.[2] During the Second World War, in April 1945, German units destroyed the station building while retreating from the town.[4] It was rebuilt in 1949.[5]
