History of the property
There is a lot of different information about this real estate that was collected by history enthusiasts on the Internet. After archival research, it is already known that the villa located at Witebska 6, Bydgoszcz was built by the Polish optician Stanisław Zakaszewski. In 1906, he founded an optical warehouse in Bydgoszcz, Poland - the first such warehouse in this country.
In 1925, Witebska 6 was listed in a pre-war Polish phone book as a farmer's property. However, a farmer was not able to afford such a villa at that time, due to low earnings and low social status. It should be assumed that there was previously built a poorer, tenement house at the same address at that time. Stanisław Zakaszewski, optician was listed as an owner of this property in a phone book from 1926 for the first time. It can be presumed that the construction of a villa began in 1926.
There is an eye-catching alcove tower in the corner of the villa (there was a winding staircase inside). From the north, there was a balcony with a view of the park. From the east (towards a river), there was a flower garden. From the west (street side), there was a decorative, brick fence. As a result of the outbreak of World War II, the property passed into the hands of the Nazi invader.
According to the materials collected in the Federal Archives of Germany (Bundesarchiv), the property was a resort of the German Red Cross at that time. After the WW II, it went under city administration. Due to neglect, the once-bustling villa has partially collapsed.

An investment plot located at Witebska 6, Bydgoszcz, Poland is situated near the regatta racecourse and so-called old "Water Lock Keeper's House" located at Łowicka 56, Bydgoszcz. Why do we mention this?
According to the letter received from the Bydgoszcz City Hall, the "Water Lock Keeper's House" - a historic tenement house located at Łowicka Street, Bydgoszcz is going to be adapted as a hotel due to the construction of the marina which will play an important role in creating many new opportunities for new investments in the area.
„Gazeta Wyborcza” Newspaper published an article about an investment made in 2018 for the estimated value 4 million PLN - construction of a new spectators box and a boathouse at the regatta racecourse in Bydgoszcz, Poland. This investment will increase a popularity of the area through arranging more events such as regattas, competitions, and water races.
Sport and events
In addition to the location, we have to mention about the special kind of a relationship between people and the river - their enthusiasm and commitment, as well as interesting solutions made along the Brda River, play an important role in the development of water sports and sailing in this area.
