    Białowieża Palace - currently closed final railway station located in the center of Białowieża. The railway station was built within 4 months of 1897 for the needs of the residence of the tsars of Russia - the palace in Białowieża - erected by order of Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The tsar and his family traveled by train for hunting, which was prepared for weeks or even months earlier. Before his arrival, the entire station was decorated, he was greeted by the whole entourage. After the destruction of the wooden pavilions from the end of the 19th century during World War II, a station building in the late modernist style was built in their place in the 1970s, which was destroyed after being abandoned after 1994. The route to Hajnówka was used for over 100 years until the line was closed on December 31, 1993 due to unprofitability of transport. In the years 2014-2015, the construction of a new wooden pavilion referring to the railway station from the end of the 19th century was carried out. Due to the terrain limitations, the reconstructed building is not an exact copy of the old one (it was shortened and reversed; the original station faced the park and the palace).
