Do you have wine? Cup of tea? If so, sit back because we have a story for you.
You may know the German Emperor, Wilhelm II, for two reasons. One is well known: he was the last emperor of the German Empire. The second reason is more secret - he loved hunting and was really good at it. What you may not know is that he loved to hunt in the areas of today's northern Poland. There are also stones on which, for example, the following memory is engraved: "His Majesty, Emperor Wilhelm II shot a deer here on September 24, 1900." The Emperor liked hunting in this place so much that he ordered to put up a railway station that would serve as a summer residence for him. And since he was a lover of the Nordic style, a wooden building with elements referring to the Viking culture was built according to his taste. The emperor eagerly spent his summer days there and enjoyed the beauty of nature, although one cannot be sure whether it was nature alone who seduced him. There were rumours that the romantic emperor not only loved hunting, but also the Count, who had his residence nearby, and they enjoyed each other's company. Nobody knows, but the proof of the Emperor's numerous visits has survived to our times, the "welcoming imperial pavilion", a witness to history. You could say that they all lived long (true) and happily (less true), but the most honest thing is to say that the imperial railway station lived the longest. Especially since it was moved from Prakwice to Budwity and the pavilion remained there.
128 years later, we stood in the Masurian countryside in front of a mysterious, falling into ruin and forgotten building in Budwity. Its story spoke to us and its lost grace, which we wanted to restore. Conservation and renovation works that lasted for 5 years have brought the desired effect. The old charm of imperial interiors has returned. A unique atmosphere has returned.
Today, we invite you to a place that has not only a great history but also a wonderful "present". Cosy interiors soothe the senses, the intimate spa guarantees a bit of luxury, and the surrounding wild nature allows you to forget what year it is.
We invite you to become part of this story.

My husband Rafał and I are history and nature lovers. We have been involved in the conservation of monuments for twenty years. One day, a friend from the Monuments Protection Office called us and asked us to leave National road 7 and check whether "Budwity is still standing". That day, our journey ended on a non-existent platform and we knew that we had found our destination by accident.

In a different era. Seriously! 90% of the original façade, a decorative ceiling, a historic cash desk door, and a part of the original larch paneling have been preserved, thanks to which the station has retained the atmosphere of a bygone era. Inside you can feel the 19th century, restored, refreshed, but still 19th.
The house consists of two bedrooms: Wilhelm's bedroom (here a large double bed) and the Ticket Office, where there are two double beds: one fold-out downstairs and the second, located on the mezzanine.
The kitchen with the living area is located in the former Nastawnia. There is a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. From the couch you can enjoy beautiful countryside views from panoramic windows. Łaźnia Dworcowa invites you to a relaxing bath in a bathtub.
Here you will definitely take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and escape from the crowds of people.
We care about the environment, so we made sure that the building is powered only by energy derived from the earth and the sun.
What will I eat?

In the cozy kitchen connected with the living room you will find everything you need to prepare a lunch for friends or a dinner for two. It is therefore equipped with an induction hob, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, as well as a coffee machine, toaster, blender, mixer and kitchenware. Meals can be eaten at a folding table for 6 people.
There is also a place for a bonfire outside - an alternative for a summer or spring evening.
There are several restaurants in the area that we can recommend:
- Pod Kłobukiem Restaurant in Małdyty. They serve regional dishes, there is also a shop with local products
- Okoń Fish Frying Plant in Zielony Grąd, on the route towards Gdańsk
- Restaurant Dwór Drulity in Drulity
- Sand Valley restaurant on the golf course in Pasłęk
- Tawerna Restaurant in Ostróda
... and the best artisan ice cream in Masuria can be found at U Smoleja in Łukta.
Will I not be bored?

You won't, unless you are dreaming about it - then it is the way to go. From the level of the couch, in any weather, you can watch a live spectacle of the local nature, which is provided by panoramic windows overlooking the garden and meadows. The exteriors are conducive to doing nothing on the hanging couch or laying on a deckchair in the garden (provided). The best relaxation is provided by a Russian bathtub (water temperature 36 degrees) in the garden and a Finnish sauna. In the evening you can light a fire.
We also encourage you to discover the area. In the vicinity of the station, there is the Buczyniec ramp, which is part of the Elbląg Canal. There are also many palaces and manors nearby, and in the house you will find the book "Palaces and manors of former East Prussia", thanks to which you can create your own sightseeing route. Nature lovers will feel like a fish in the water - the nearby disused peat bogs are an ideal place to observe and photograph wild animals. The bog plays the role of a deer rut, a mating area for deer and fallow deer, as well as a bird feeding ground.
On Lake Piniewo in Budwity (15 minutes' walk from the building), we have a rowing boat that you can use at will. There are also 6 bicycles at your disposal.
For slightly further trips (maximum 30 minutes by car), you can go to the Jeziorak lake or the Vistula Lagoon, as well as to Ostróda or Elbląg.
What’s there for children?

Reviews
Fantastyczne miejsce - spędziliśmy w nim Święta Bożonarodzeniowe w doskonałej atmosferze. Dworzec oddaje ducha Cesarza Wilhelma - pięknie zaaranżowane wnętrze, przystrojone przez właścicieli w najdrobniejszym detalu w świąteczne ozdoby. Dom bardzo ciepły, nie tylko za sprawą pięknego wystroju ale również funkcjonalności - podgrzewana podłoga, klimatyczny kominek, w pełni wyposażona kuchnia ... w której nawet upiekliśmy ciasto! Wisienką na torcie jest sauna fińska i beczka z lodowatą wodą - rewelacja! Na koniec możemy pochwalić również catering polecany przez właścicieli ... który sprawił że Święta były prawdziwą ucztą w pysznym, mazurskim wydaniu! Dziękujemy ... i wrócimy :)
Co tu dużo mówić, po przekroczeniu progu opadły nam szczęki i zbierałyśmy je do końca naszego pobytu. Doskonały wypoczynek! Dworzec zachwyca architekturą i wykończeniem, okolica jest piękna i spokojna, a ta ruska bania... No, na pewno wrócimy!
Fantastic place. We spent amazing days there. Everything described in the ad is in place or even better. Thank you :*
