Location

Wrocław Świebodzki is a former railway station in Wrocław, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of south-western Poland. It stands at Plac Orląt Lwowskich 20a, near the historic centre of the city. The station was opened in 1843 as the terminus of the Wrocław–Świebodzice railway and is one of the oldest surviving passenger station complexes in Wrocław.

The present station building was erected between 1868 and 1874, replacing the earlier 1843 structure while incorporating parts of the older complex. Railway traffic for passengers ended in 1991. The historic building is no longer used as a regular passenger station; parts of the complex are occupied by commercial premises and by the Polish Theatre in Wrocław's Scena na Świebodzkim, while the former station area also hosts a large Sunday market.
