History The two-story station building located on Racławicka Street, near the city center, was built in 1878. Until 1945, the station served as the main station on the Sudeten Main Line. It was one of the more important stations of the so-called Sudeten Main Line. During its heyday, the station had a very well-developed railway infrastructure – nearby there were, among other things, engine sheds and a water tower, as well as an underground passage between the platforms. In 1945, the bombed station roof burned down, and part of the walls collapsed. In 1957, a new building was erected in its place.

Next to the main station before 1945, railway stations operated in Nysa on local routes to Kałków and Ścinawa Mała, serviced by the company Lenz & Co. Parallel to the current station, on the other side of Racławicka Street, there was the Nysa Miasto railway station. About 1 km further along the tracks of the Sudeten Main Line, there was Nysa Dworzec Mały (Mała Nysa) railway station, after which the tracks diverged. In the direction of Ścinawa, they crossed over the Mainline tracks via a viaduct, and the next station on this line was Nysa Nowy Świat railway station. Tracks in the direction of Kałków continued further along the mainline, with the next station being Nysa Górna Wieś (Nysa suburb).
