Viaducts at Stańczyki

Stańczyki is a small village in Poland's Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, near Gołdap and Dubeninki, north of the city of Suwałki. It is notable for two large railway viaducts of the (now defunct) Gołdap-Żytkiejmy railway. Roughly 200 metres long and 36 metres high, both are among the largest such constructions in Poland. Built of reinforced concrete, each of the bridges has five arches of 15 metres of length each. The northern viaduct was constructed between 1912 and 1914, the southern one was added between 1923 and 1926.
