Kuyavian-Pomeranian Regional Assembly building in Toruń, Governmental building in Toruń, Poland.
The Kuyavian-Pomeranian Regional Assembly building is located at plac Teatralny 2 and features modern architecture with large windows and efficient functional design. The structure contains multiple floors housing various departments of the regional government.
A 1927 architectural competition for the building was won by Warsaw architect Franciszek Krzywda-Polkowski. It was erected between 1928 and 1932 as the seat of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Office, at a cost of about 3 million złoty, the most expensive building project in interwar Toruń. From 1933 the District Directorate of State Railways occupied it while the voivodeship office stayed in the former crafts school. Since 1999 it has housed the marshal of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.
The building occupies a prominent position at Theatre Square and serves as a central hub for the regional administration of Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. Its functional modern design reflects how civic institutions are housed in this historic city.
The building functions as an administrative center and is located on the busy Theatre Square in downtown Torun. You can view the exterior from the square, but check ahead if you wish to access specific offices or departments inside.
The building was the most expensive construction project in interwar Toruń, costing about 3 million złoty. From 1965 to 2009 one wing housed the Institute of History and Archival Studies of Nicolaus Copernicus University; the university sold that wing to the regional marshal's office in July 2008.
