BYDGOSZCZ. LIFE TAKES ON COLOUR.
Bydgoszcz, which used to be mainly associates with industry, changed its face a long time
ago. Referred to as "little Berlin" or "Venice of the North" it is one of the most striking
Polish cities, a city that has much to offer.
TOURIST
The logo of the City of Bydgoszcz refers to the
historic tradition of presenting an outline of three
18th c. granaries on the waterfront of the Brda
River.
ROUTES
The beauty of Bydgoszcz is not obvious and not closed within a specific historic time. Its
essence lies in a collage of styles, colourful processions of houses, the omnipresent river
whispering quietly the extraordinary history of the city.
We offer you a variety of ways to discover the secrets of Bydgoszcz. Do you prefer to walk, to go
by car, or maybe on the water? Everyone will find something for themselves: a lover of medieval
history, enthusiast of 19th century architecture, someone interested in World War II an adventurous child. Experience it all for yourself ...

1. 1. CASMIR THE GREAT’S ROUTE (MEDIEVAL ROUTE)
Time: 2 hours.
Useful tips: after the walk, take a cruise by a water tram along the old town route. On Saturdays the museums on Mill Island are free
of charge.
Casmir III the Great was never in Bydgoszcz, despite the fact that the city received its foundation act from his hands. Bydgoszcz
owes a lot to the wise king, except ... its name. The king wanted it to be called Królewiec! (Kingstown, Konigsberg). The
residents, however, were convinced that the word "Bydgoszcz", meaning the same as "be my guest", would have a better
connotation for travellers. Well, they were not wrong.
It is good to start the medieval route from the model of the old town (1), located at the granaries (7-11 Grodzka Street). It
shows the shape of the town in the 17th century, before the Swedish invasion that devastated the city. At that time Bydgoszcz
was a famous centre of merchants. It was renowned for its grain and timber, which were around in abundance, for excellent
beer brewed in the local breweries and for… pots (supposedly unbreakable). Then we head along Mostowa St. towards the
Old Market (2). It is worth paying attention to the town hall building in the western frontage, the former Jesuit College. On
the opposite side there is the tenement house number 15. In one of its windows Master Twardowski (3) appears twice a day
(at 13:13 and 21:13). Under the cobble stones of the Market Square there are the ruins of the old town hall with a tower prison
and merchants' stalls, which will soon be exposed. We go now to the St. Martin and St. Nicholas Cathedral (4), the oldest
church in Bydgoszcz. It was built in the place of an earlier Gothic church burned during the great town fire in 1425. This event
had a consequence - disruption of the symmetry of the cathedral nave and chancel (shifted to the right by approximately 0.5
m, clearly visible when we stand under the organ). There are stunning murals decorating the interior of the church and the
miraculous image of Our Lady of Beautiful Love that was crowned by Pope John Paul II in 1999.
Along the picturesque Jezuicka Street, we get to Długa Street (5) – the longest street of the medieval town (541 m). On both
ends access to it was defended by city gates: Kujawska and Poznańska. Strolling along Długa St. toward Zbożowy Rynek (Grain
Market) it is worthwhile to raise your head slightly to see the interesting details of the 19th-century buildings (many of them
have also interesting Gothic cellars). Along Przesmyk St. we get to the statue of King Casmir the Great (6) in Nowy Rynek New Market. The king reminds us of the medieval origin of the city. The sculpture stands in the place once occupied by the
castle’s outer fortified wall with towers. One of them is hidden behind buildings on the western side of the monument. You can
reach it from Pod Blankami St. walking into one of the gates. Continuing on along this street we come back to Długa St. in the
place where formerly the Poznańska Gate was situated. According to a legend, the town executioner lived above it. Along a
narrow passage between houses at Wełniany Rynek - Wool Market we head towards the Venice of Bydgoszcz (7), once the
industrial area of the city.

foundation act from
Casmir III the Great

2. MARIAN REJEWSKI’S ROUTE
Time: about 7 hours.
Tips: it is best to visit this route by car due to the significant distance between visited places.
Marian Rejewski was one of three cryptographers who
decoded the operation of the German coding machine
"Enigma". The route named after the eminent mathematician leads along the most important places related to
World War II.
The tour begins in the Old Market, where at the beginning of September 1939 the city witnessed the first
executions of the inhabitants associated with the
so-called Bydgoszcz "Bloody Sunday".
Statue of Marian Rejewski.
The victims are commemorated by the Monument to Resistance and Martyrdom (1) that is situated in the Old Market
Square. Previously there was a church in this place, which was destroyed by the invaders. According to a legend, the reason for
the destruction of the church was the bloody mark of a hand that was left after the execution of a priest from one of
Bydgoszcz's parishes. The mark could not be removed in any way. Next we go along Mostowa St. and Gdańska St. towards the
statue of Marian Rejewski (2). The famous cryptographer was born in Bydgoszcz in 1905, he graduated from the grammar
school here, and after the war for many years worked as an accountant. To see the famous "Enigma" and learn more about it
you are advised to visit the Museum of Military Land Forces (3), which is located in Gdańska Street.

3. POLA NEGRI’S ROUTE
Time: about 2 hours.
Tips: recommended a visit to the tenement house at 27 Gdańska St. to see the interior decoration of houses from the beginning of the 20th century. Art Nouveau paintings and a beautiful antique lift transfer us into the belle époque atmosphere.
The famous Hollywood silent film actress visited Bydgoszcz several times. She even bought a beautiful house, where later her
mother lived. Apolonia Chałupiec herself remembered Bydgoszcz mainly for its naked, "obscene," as she said, statue of the
"Archer Lady". The fact of placing the sculpture in the city centre, next to the theatre, she considered a scandal. Let us remind
you that the actress was later announced as a sex bomb of American cinema and the lover of Charlie Chaplin and Rudolph
Valentino.
Pola Negri’s route starts on Gdańska Street by the “Hotel pod Orłem” ("Under the Eagle Hotel") (1) where in the stylish
restaurant we can taste dishes from the 1920s. The building was designed by Józef Święcicki - a prominent builder, who
designed and constructed more than 60 buildings in Bydgoszcz. His likeness is on the facade of the hotel. Then we go to
Casmir the Great Park, where we could take a photo at the "Deluge" (2) fountain. The monumental fountain was a “must” for
every trip around the city before the Second World War. Today you can admire copies of two of the original three sculptures
of the fountain. Then along Gimnazjalna and Libelta Streets we will get to the Music District of Bydgoszcz (3), a green oasis
in the city centre.
“Pod Orłem” Hotel
("Under the Eagle").
Racławicka
Among the beautiful buildings of the Philharmonic, the Academy of Music
and the Theatre we will find busts and statues of great composers, a replica of
the first in Poland statue of Henryk Sienkiewicz and of the unashamed "Archer
Lady" (4), who despite her advanced age (over 100) still delights with her
beauty. Beside the Theatre we can walk and admire Mickiewicza Av., a street
that comprises a selection of powerful Art Nouveaux tenement houses and
slightly smaller villas. They were designed by Józef Święcicki and his student
Rudolf Kern, and marked the new trends in urban architecture. It is worth
noting that Kern created the most beautiful Art Nouveau building in
Bydgoszcz, located at 4 Paderewskiego St. We return now to Gdańska St. to
see the house of Pola Negri (5). The building purchased at some point by the
famous actress is a beautiful villa (84 Gdańska St.) with an amazing ballroom, a
fountain and a large terrace overlooking a garden. Then, following Gdańska St.
toward the centre, stop for a moment by two villas (48 and 50 Gdańska St.)
(6) that once belonged to wealthy industrialists of Bydgoszcz. Currently the
buildings house the PIK radio broadcaster. Exquisite interiors with a club room
and ornate staircase reflect the wealth of the former inhabitants. The last point
of the route is Cieszkowskiego Street (7). While walking along this unique
street we may have the impression that time stopped here in the early 20th
century. The exceptional atmosphere of this place is created by houses with
original Art Nouveau ornaments, jewellers’ workshops, a wine shop and a

4. MASTER TWARDOWSKI’S ROUTE (ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS)
Time: 1 hour.
Tip: it is worthwhile adding a water tram cruise to this route.
We begin with "Man Crossing the River" (1) - a sculpture suspended above the Brda River to celebrate Poland’s accession
into the European Union. It is worth considering why “the Man" has stayed up on the rope for such a long time. It's not
magic, but the laws of physics that make the sculpture not fall into the river. The figure that weighs more than 50 kg has its
centre of gravity located below the rope, and the pole helps it maintain balance.
”Man crossing the River”.
Then we go down to the boulevard near the granaries,
stopping for a moment beside the water tram stop. It was here
that fragments of some famous Polish films where shot - "Four
Tankers and a Dog" (Czterej Pancerni i Pies) and "Magic Tree"
(Magiczne Drzewo). A little further on, at Plac Solny (Salt
Square), there is a model of the former castle of Bydgoszcz
(2). The castle is linked to the legend of the beautiful castellan
lady Angelica and her cruel father Carolus. The girl fell in love
with a handsome prince, who had been captured by her Dad.
Angelika freed the young man and he got into a fight with
some troops of Carolus. Both – the father and the beloved man
- were killed. The girl plunged into despair, threw herself into
the Brda River. It is said that for centuries her ghost haunted
the castle of Bydgoszcz.

It is recommended to visit the Old Market at 13.13 or 21.13 precisely, when the silhouette of the famous Master Twardowski
