The Bydgoskie District (Polish: Bydgoskie Przedmieście) is unique for its charming location along the Vistula escarpment, a vast and picturesque English-style Municipal Park of 1817, and the rich greenery and architecture. The present-day buildings were erected in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the Classicist, Eclectic, Art Nouveau, and neo-Gothic styles. Therefore, there are a lot of houses with half-timbered walls, corner turrets, and decorated gables with numerous details and ornaments. The exclusive and privileged suburb was inhabited by civil servants, officers, freelancers and other celebrated people who were meritorious not only for Toruń. In the interwar period Kazimiera Żuławska’s boarding house ‘Zofijówka’ hosted such eminent artists as Stanisław Przybyszewski, Tymon Niesiołowski, Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, Juliusz Osterwa and others. Here, the first Polish Naval Academy was established.
