Bernardyńska Street was born from a mid-19th century project to extend the road connecting the Old Town to the suburbs.

[2] Many official and financial difficulties, associated with the definition of the course of the street and acquisitions of terrain made the project drag on, coming to completion only 20 years later (1875):[2] discussions with landlords and neighborhood about path locations went on till 1863!

[2] The construction work for the bridge started in 1867, first steel elements set on May 15, 1870, and the final completion of the Bernardyńska street occurred in 1872.

On September 23, 1552, King Sigismund II Augustus granted permission for the reconstruction of the burned Bernardine church., with a caveat to its height that should not be taller than the neighboring castle for military-defensive purposes.

[5] 1867–1872[6] Historicism, elements of Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque The building was erected in the late 1860s for the Evangelical Seminary Teachers, linked to a medium-sized state school in Bromberg.

[9] After 1920, when Bydgoszcz rejoined the re-created Poland, massive outflow of Germans from the city let the Protestant seminary for teachers useless.

In 1935, the institution was transformed into a State High School Farm, the first in the country, culminating with the matura examination, which grants the access to university.

On the back of the property was a large vegetable and fruit garden, in addition the school had its own 90 ha farm in the vicinity of Bydgoszcz.

After the end of World War II, the Polish Labour Office has been standing there, then a Technical Equipment department.

In the late 1960s, the edifice has accommodated a branch of the University of Life Sciences in Poznań, focusing on agriculture (and animal husbandry from 1972).

After 1922, when the Prussian Monument has been demolished, an initiative to commemorate the fallen Polish soldiers in the Greater Poland uprising (1918–1919) in this place took off.

It was eventually inaugurated on December 29, 1986, on the 68th anniversary of the Greater Poland Uprising, based on a design by Stanisław Horno-Popławski and realized-cast by Aleksander Dętkoś, one of his student from Bydgoszcz.

At the beginning of the 20th century, part of the renovation of the Wisła-Oder waterway required to rebuild the bridge to meet the constrains of modern shipping: it was necessary to raise the structure above the water by 60 cm.

It has been blown up on September 4, 1939, by Polish sappers from the 62nd Infantry Regiment in order to prevent German forces from crossing the Brda.

[18] Bridge has re-opened in December 1963: it had a middle-track line for tramway, dual carriageway road with two lanes each and sidewalks for pedestrians.

[21] In 1996, the building has been sold by municipal authorities to a company, Shanghai Olym-Poland, which set up a hotel and a catering center for Chinese people traveling in Poland and around Europe.

[12] The designer Carl Meyer has been influenced by the Hanover school of architecture, characterized by brick facades and absence of exterior plaster, decorative sculptures and colored surface.

Carl Meyer also realised several other edifices in downtown Bydgoszcz, among others: The building has a "L" shape with wings, two-storey, a basement and an attic.

At its birth in 1920, this institution in Bydgoszcz was the Audit Office of Polish Post, covering a range of activities throughout the country.
