Skidel. Railway Station building.

There is a place called Skidel in the Grodno region. The 19th-century manor house with the Chetvertinsky Park has been preserved in the village, and there is also a stone railway station building from the early 20th century.

The name of the place comes from the local river Skidelka. In the 16th century, the town belonged to the Grand Duke of Lithuania and was part of the Grodno region of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Since 1588, Skidel has been the royal court of the Trotsky voivodeship of the Grodno Starost.

 In 1644, the town received a privilege from the King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Vladislav IV Vaza - the surveyor of the economy, Wojciech Putilovsky, measured a square-shaped shopping area with an area of 3 morgues and 9 bars. They started holding fairs twice a year and auctions twice a week.

After the third partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as part of the Russian Empire. Empress Catherine II presented the place to the widow of Prince Anthony Svyatopolk-Chetvertinsky. In the 19th century, the Chetvertinskys built a manor house with a palace, a park and a chapel. The palace has not been preserved to our time.

Since 1885, Skidel has been the center of a parish in the Grodno district.

After the Peace of Riga in 1921, it became part of the Polish state until 1939, before the advent of Soviet power. Since 1921, Skidel has been granted the status of a gmina in Grodno county. During this period, a new stone railway station was built in Skidel under Polish rule.

The building is one-story with an attic floor. It was built in the Zakopane Polish national style with neo-Baroque elements. In some ways, the building resembles the old noble estates during the times of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 17th and 18th centuries.
