Railway station in Gdansk

Representative, spacious, and considered one of the most interesting structures of its kind in Poland, the Main Railway Station was built between 1894 and 1900, drawing inspiration from the "Gdansk Renaissance" style. The architects responsible for the design of the building were Alexander Rundel, Paul Thomer, and Georg Cuny. The station building and tower are constructed of red brick and lavishly decorated with sandstone from Wartkowice. The silhouette of the 50-meter tower, originally serving as a water tower before the introduction of electric railways, is crowned with an impressive spire that harmonizes with the tower of the Old Town Hall. At a height of 26 meters, there are clock faces with a diameter of over three meters.
