2 Orzeszkowej Street in Gdańsk, Protected brick villa in Aniołki district, Gdańsk, Poland.

The three-story brick villa at Orzeszkowej Street 2 features decorative architectural elements, carved doors, and multiple terraces overlooking the neighborhood.

Built in 1922 for Jewish merchant Leon Astrachan, the building later became headquarters for Polish Customs Inspectorate during the Free City of Danzig period.

The villa represents the architectural style of wealthy merchants in interwar Gdańsk, combining residential spaces with administrative functions.

The building requires extensive renovation work, with recent funding allocated for roof and terrace protection to prevent further deterioration.

During World War II, the villa served as the SS Vistula district headquarters and later housed a sobering-up station during the communist period.
