History

The Gdańsk Wrzeszcz–Stara Piła railway passed the site where the station is located today. A viaduct over the road existed then too, but was blown up by the Germans on 26 March 1945, to slow down the movement of the Soviets. The remnants of the viaduct, either side of the road, stayed in a derelict state for years. These were demolished in 2013 to make way for the building work on for the new PKM.
