History

The station was built in 1902 as the final stop of the Warsaw–Kalisz Railway. In 1906, a line was added to Nowe Skalmierzyce, the border crossing between the Russian-controlled Vistula Land and the German Empire. In the past numerous international trains departed from Kalisz, to destinations such as Moscow, Baku, Prague, Frankfurt, Dresden, Paris, Ostend and Calais. Even in the late twentieth century Kalisz can be reached abroad. The last international train services was "Bohemia" (Warsaw - Wroclaw - Pardubice - Prague).

Modernisation

The station building was to be upgraded before the Euro 2012. [1] However, due to contract issues and delays the renovations were not completed until November 2015. The modernised station was opened on 27 November 2015. [2]
