Burgher's Manor

Bourgeois Manor House in Toruń is a monument of exceptionally interesting history, because although it was built in the 15th century, it was made of bricks of a much older Teutonic castle. An attractive neighborhood is also the 13th-century Guardhouse Tower with a quadrangular tower built above it and the dam of the castle's moat on the other side.

Currently, the building is the seat of the Association of Partner Cities of Toruń, which offers accommodation in it. The mansion in the past was the summer house of the Brotherhood of St. George, an association of patricians existing in Toruń in the years 1311-1842. The Brotherhood was dissolved in the mid-nineteenth century, and the building passed into the hands of the city and was adapted to residential functions.

At the end of the nineteenth century, attempts were made to renovate it, but it did not come to fruition due to financial reasons. The building, rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century, was owned by the Shooting Brotherhood of the Rooster, and after the war it served as a youth hostel.
