Białowieża Palace Station Pavilion

Highlight • Monument

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).

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church

Highlight • Religious Site

According to local records, as early as the 17th century, there was a small Orthodox church in Białowieża, which was burned down along with the village during the plague of 1710. Records locate the church on Browska Road. The only surviving relic of it is said to be a bell from 1661, located in the cemetery chapel. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of this information in known written sources. Initially, the Białowieża residents were assigned to the parish church in Shereshevo, which received funds and privileges from Ivan Abramovich as early as 1517. After the construction of the church in Suchopol in 1680 and the establishment of the Suchopol parish, they transferred to it. In 1704, the Białowieża manor received the right to collate and present the Suchopol priests from King Augustus II. Białowieża's affiliation with the Suchopol parish is confirmed by visitations from 1748, 1757, and 1769. In 1757, it had 733 faithful, including 83 from Białowieża. In 1769, the parish had 251 families – 23 from Białowieża (56 people were recorded as having gone to confession). Around 1782, the church in Suchopol burned down. Because the chapel built in its place could not accommodate all the parishioners, construction of a new church began. Construction work lasted seven years. In 1799, Białowieża, with 30 families, was still part of the Suchopol parish, although it had already had its own church for several years. The Białowieżaites may have been assigned to the Suchopol parish as late as 1800, but the 1801 visit does not mention them. The Orthodox church in Białowieża was built in 1793. The church's foundation deed was issued on May 2, 1797, by the Chief Treasurer, Major Jan Szczepanowski.

Palace Park Pond, Białowieża

Highlight • Lake

One of the ponds in the palace park in Białowieża.
The palace in Białowieża was built in 1894 on the order of Tsar Alexander III.
Burnt down in 1944, demolished in 1961 - only the palace gate has survived.
During archaeological excavations, the remains of a manor from the second half of the 16th century were discovered, which can be associated with hunting in the forest of kings Zygmunt August and Stefan Batory.
Another royal court was mentioned in Białowieża in 1639 during the reign of the kings of the Vasa dynasty.

Palace Park

Highlight • Historical Site

This beautiful park is located just north of the tourist office. It is not part of the national park, which means entry is free. You enter by crossing a small bridge over a canal. It dates from 1890 when the village of Bialowieza was still under the control of the Russian tsars.

The latter also had a palace built which did not survive the vagaries of time. In the large wooded park, a Victorian-style building has a small museum which intelligently introduces you to the animal species that you can discover in the Białowieża Forest.
