Location

The building stands on western side of Gdańska Street at N°119, between Chocimskiego street and Artyleryjski street.

History

The building was built between 1895 and 1896 for Emilia and Fritz Heroldt, a couple of rentiers. [2] At the time, the address was 67 Danzigerstrasse, Bromberg . They lived there until 1899. Fritz Heroldt had also a tenement built in 1896 at 71 Dworcowa Street by Fritz Weidner.

At the beginning of the 20th century Antoni Chołoniewski (1872-1924) lived in the villa. He was a journalist and Polish national activist who wrote the Spirit of Polish History (Polish : Duch dziejów Polski). As a remembrance, a plaque has been placed on the facade.

During PRL times, the villa housed the Civic Militia Command (Polish : Milicja Obywatelska). [3]

Later a school for girls has been established there, then a language school.

Since April 2017, an internet company, Agnat, has moved its headquarters into the premises. Prior to the installation, the firm led an external and internal complete renovation of the villa, based on heritage agency recommendations. [3]

Architecture [4]

It is one of the first realization of Berliner architect Fritz Weidner, a few years after his arrival in Bydgoszcz.

The elevation is decorated with characteristic Neo-Baroque ornaments: [5]

The thorough restoration funded by the company Agnat spanned from 2014 to April 2017. Renovations were conducted under the close supervision of the urban conservator of monuments. The coloring of the facade is similar to the original, all decorations: garlands, scrolls, statues of plump angels have been meticulously renewed. [3]

Interiors are likewise, with wooden windows, reconstructed door frames, wooden columns, roof truss, curving staircase with handmade wooden balustrade scenic. [3]

The building has been put on the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Heritage List (N°601324, Reg. A/1097/1-2) on April 15, 1994. [1]
