The White Stork Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Pod Białym Bocianem) is a nineteenth-century synagogue in Wrocław, Poland. Rededicated in 2010 after a decade-long renovation, it is the religious and cultural centre of the local Jewish community, under the auspices of the Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Poland. It is the only synagogue in Wrocław to have survived the Holocaust.

Wrocław Świebodzki railway station
Wrocław Świebodzki railway station

Wrocław Świebodzki (German: Breslau Freiburger) is a disused railway station in the Przedmieście Świdnickie district of the city of Wrocław, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland. Opened by the Wrocław-Świdnica-Świebodzice Railway Company in 1843, it was one of the two first railway stations to open in Wrocław (after Wrocław Górnośląski), historically serving as the eastern termini of the Silesian Mountain Railway (now the Wrocław Świebodzki–Zgorzelec railway). Historically, Wrocław Świebodzki was at the site of the busiest railway junction in Wrocław, situated directly adjacent to two major termini; Wrocław Marchijsko-Dolnośląski of the Berlin–Wrocław railway, and Wrocław Miejski Prawego Brzegu Odry of the Oder Right Bank Railway Company. It was by the early 20th century when both railway stations closed, only increasing rail traffic for Świebodzki and the newly built Wrocław Główny. During the station's operation, it served as the terminus of all trains arriving from the west, such via Görlitz, Węgliniec, Żagań, and Jelenia Góra. Regular passenger trains were withdrawn in 1991. Świebodzki still remained operational to non-regular service trains until 1993, however this was mostly for special services such as rail shows. Since the station's closure, it has been leased for several purposes, most notably hosting the weekly Świebodzki flea market, the largest in Wrocław. As rail traffic rapidly increased in Wrocław Główny since the 2000s, several plans and proposals have emerged over the years (first in 2007) for the revitalisation or redevelopment of Świebodzki, in the aim of reducing congestion at Wrocław Główny. After the station joined the Kolej+ programme in 2023, Świebodzki is set to reopen in 2029. Works are set to commence in 2027.
