Artus Manor in Toruń

The building was later reconstructed and renovated, especially in the 17th century, when a rich painting decoration of the facade was made, on which friezes with images of kings from Władysław Jagiełło to Sigismund III Vasa were placed,[2] known from a series of drawings created in the years 1738-1745 showing views of Toruń and the surrounding area prepared by Steiner.

As a result of the liquidation of the Brotherhood of St. George in 1842, the Manor became a Municipal Theatre with an auditorium of 500 seats.

After Poland regained its independence in 1920, the representative rooms of the Manor hosted, among others, General Jozef Haller and the Presidents of the Second Polish Republic: Stanisław Wojciechowski, Ignacy Mościcki and Józef Piłsudski.

Traditional state ceremonies, social and guild meetings and representative balls returned to the Manor.

After World War II, in 1949, the building was handed over to the emerging Nicolaus Copernicus University and housed the Collegium Maximum and the Od Nowa Student Club.
