THE BUILDING:

The townhouse at 6 św. Katarzyny Street in Toruń is not just another address on the map; it is an architectural gem of the New Town, captivating with its unique character, prestigious location and extraordinary details.
It is the ideal space for anyone seeking a property with ‘soul’ and immense commercial or luxury potential.
The tenement house took on its dazzling, current form in 1897. The famous Toruń architect Hermann Rosenau was responsible for its transformation, commissioned by the then owner, Klara Dylewska.
The beautiful, neo-Gothic-eclectic façade, along with the grand, wide staircase and spacious hall, epitomise the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
If you look up at the building’s façade, you’ll see something truly unique – a historic, original sundial dating from 1895. It is one of only two such structures in Toruń’s Old Town!
Interestingly, its dial was designed to account for the wall’s inclination so as to indicate the time precisely, and the Roman numeral four is inscribed in the unusual form IIII rather than IV.
It’s a detail that your guests or clients will talk about with great admiration.
