The railway bridge in the States, located on the Oder near Nowa Sól, is one of the longest and most impressive railway bridges in Poland. Its history, spanning over 120 years, is inextricably linked to the development of rail transport in the region and turbulent historical events. The construction of the bridge began in 1905 and was completed in 1908. It was a gigantic engineering undertaking. The bridge was designed as a steel truss structure, consisting of several spans supported by stone pillars. Its length was approximately 640 meters, making it one of the longest structures of this type in Germany at that time. With the opening of the bridge, transport in the entire region was significantly improved, and Nowa Sól gained a new, important rail connection. During World War I, the bridge did not suffer any major damage, although its strategic importance increased. The real test for the structure came with World War II. At the end of the war, in 1945

A place with great historical potential. Secured palace ruins, orangery, large park complex with rare trees and small architecture.

The Lipiny Odrzańskie railway station was established together with the construction of railway line no. 275, connecting Wrocław with Gubin. This line was crucial for the region, enabling passenger and freight transport. The section through Lipiny Odrzańskie was launched at the end of the 19th century, or more precisely in 1876, when the section from Rudna Gwizdanów to Nowa Sól was opened. For years, Lipiny Odrzańskie station played an important role for the local community. It was a point from which residents commuted to work, school or markets, as well as a place where agricultural and industrial goods were loaded and unloaded. The station building usually housed a ticket office, waiting room and apartments for railway employees. After World War II, railway line no. 275 came under the management of the Polish State Railways (PKP). For many years, passenger and freight traffic was maintained. However, over time, in the face of the development of road transport and a decrease in the number of passengers, the importance of local rail connections began to decrease. Finally, at the beginning of the 21st century, passenger traffic on the section through Lipiny Odrzańskie was suspended. The last passenger trains ran on this line until 2004, after which it was withdrawn from regular traffic.

An impressive building, it's impossible not to notice it when driving along the road!

The castle in Broniszów was built as a knight's building in the late Middle Ages. The first owner was supposedly Bronisław, Count of Bytom Odrzański. At the beginning of the 17th century, the von Kottwitz family expanded the castle into a Renaissance residence on the plan of the letter L. In the elevated, three-storey building, two representative halls were maintained on the ground floor: one of them is covered with a beamed ceiling with an impressive Renaissance stucco decoration from the end of the 16th century, the other is covered with a Renaissance vault with a fitting ornament. The main entrance to the castle is located in the northern façade. It is decorated with a stone late Renaissance portal with the inscription ANNO MISSERIMA FORTUNA QUAE INIMICIS CARET 1608. The Baroque reconstruction from the end of the 17th century brought a change in the order of the windows, a Baroque dome of the northern tower and Baroque plasters at the expense of Renaissance sgraffito plasters. In the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt again. A brick wall and a neo-Gothic observation tower were added to the Renaissance manor house, creating an internal courtyard. The manor house was surrounded by a moat with a pond. The 20th century was not easy for Broniszow Castle. After 1945, the castle gradually fell into ruin. The renovation of this architectural monument began in 2010 and continues to this day. Thanks to our work, you can stay in one of the rooms available to guests and visit the interior of the castle.

The station building in Lipiny Odrzańskie. It was opened in 1908 and closed in 1996. Before the war, a huge network of narrow-gauge forest railways began next to the station, which wrapped the surrounding trees in a spiderweb of tracks. Today, there is no trace of them. In 2023, the station building was nicely renovated. Now it looks beautiful and encourages rest with its numerous benches.
