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.

There are documents ready for download below, related to the property located at Witebska 6, Bydgoszcz, Poland. Fortunately, despite the checkered history of World War II and years of communism in Poland, floor plans (which were approved in the past by Nazi occupation authorities) have survived to the present day - the new owner (buyer) has the opportunity to rebuild the villa. These documents were scanned in high resolution and fixed. Visible handwritten notes were made in German language in so-called Sütterlin script.

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. In the close vicinity of this investment plot, there are a motor boat club, a water sports club, and a yacht club. Revitalization of the area has contributed to the organization of events such as Bydgoszcz Triathlon, Bydgoszcz Water, Regatta Championships, Bydgoszcz Slackline Games and others.
