Łódź Kaliska Railway Station is one of the main transport hubs in Łódź, located at al. Unii Lubelskiej 3-5. It serves both long-distance and regional traffic, connecting Łódź with many cities in Poland.
History The first building of the Łódź Kaliska station was built in the years 1900-1902 according to the design of the architect Czesław Domaniewski. The Art Nouveau building with a characteristic clock tower was considered one of the most beautiful utility buildings in Łódź. However, it was destroyed during World War II, and its reconstruction did not restore its former glory.
In the 1990s, a new station building was built, which is currently undergoing a thorough modernization. Renovation works include, among others, the reconstruction of platforms, construction of new underground passages and adaptation of the facility to the needs of people with disabilities.
