Copernicanum building in Bydgoszcz, Art Nouveau educational building in downtown Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The Copernicanum features an L-shaped structure with two avant-corps, high windows, and a large sundial flanked by owl sculptures on its facade.

Architects Carl Zaar and Rudolf Vahl designed this educational institution in 1906, which later served as a military hospital during World War II.

The building received its name in 1923 to mark the 450th anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicus's birth, representing Polish educational advancement.

Located at coordinates 53°7'45.048"N, 18°0'45.252"E, the Copernicanum now houses the Institute of Mechanics and Applied Informatics after extensive renovations.

Two large silver maple trees in the backyard of Copernicanum are designated as natural landmarks of Bydgoszcz.
