The Railway Station in Maczki

After the construction of the Warsaw and Vienna railway line in the years 1839-1848, a border station building under the design of a well-known architect E. Marconi was erected. It is a structure made of brick, with partial basement, constructed on the extended rectangle plan, which consists of three parts, i.e.: two extreme ground-floor parts and a one-storey middle part. Only a few private persons live in this building at present. On the ground-floor of the southern and the middle part of the building there are rooms with a lavish architectural decor of the walls and ceilings in the form of molded cornices, stuccoes, pilasters and cast-iron columns. The cast-iron columns also support the platform covers on each side of the station.

This impressive, former border station building, a property of the Polish State Railways, has been actually unused for the last few years. The last renovation conducted in 1994 covered only the building elevation.
The once splendid interiors are nowadays unused and neglected, and in bad technical condition.

The magnificent residence was constructed for the Saxon industrialist Henryk Dietel, who built the first combed wool mill in the Kingdom of Poland and the Russian Empire. The palace remained the Dietel family's residence until 1945.
