It runs roughly along an east–west axis, connecting the Old Market square (Polish: Stary Rynek) to Przyrzecze Street near Mill Island.

It connected the north-western corner of the Old Market Square to the parish church (Polish: Kościół farny) and to the streets: Jezuicka and Przyrzecze.

[1] The history of this part of the city is related to the Order of the Jesuits, which owned a majority of the dwellings located between today's Farna, Jezuicka, Niedźwiedzia streets and the Old Market Square.

Since that time, Farna street never had houses on its southern frontage, the northern side (even numbers) being visible directly from the Old Market square, as it is today.

House at 2 1775-1776[6] Eclecticism Earliest registered reference tells that in 1855, landlord of then Alte ßfarrstraße 7was August Berndt, a rentier living in Wilhelm Straße (today's Jagiellońska street).

In addition, one can highlight the superb decoration of the main entrance portal, with stuccoes, festoons and a niche overlooking the street.

House at 4 Registered on Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Heritage list, Nr.728854 Reg.A/1539 (October 28, 2009)[9] 1776, 1865–1868 Eclecticism Initially at Alte ßfarrstraße 6, first known owner was a locksmith, August Sedelmeyer, in 1855.

[7] In the backyard has been found a commemorative plaque in Latin with the date 1593 and the initials B.K., in memoriam of an owner of the house, Bartłomiej Bartosz Krapiewski, who had a brewery and a mayor of Bydgoszcz from 1599 to 1603.

[8] The edifice features eclectic elements, borrowed from neo-renaissance: adorned pedimented windows on the first floor and corbel tables crowning the facade.

It struck less by the level of decoration than the quality of its various important guests: John II Casimir and his wife, together with Frederick William and his spouse in 1657,[2] officers and generals of the Swedish and Russian armies during armed conflicts in the 17th and 18th centuries.

At that time, the school received the visit, among others, of Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, Tadeusz Czacki; Stefan Florian Garczyński Polish poet and friend of Adam Mickiewicz studied there.

[12] As a result of the reconstructions made in 1697, 1702, and during the 19th century, the edifice has gradually lost its original Baroque architecture to display Neoclassical features.

[10] The townhouse has two storey with an attic and eyelid dormers; its horseshoe-shape footprint has wings onto Jezuicka, Farna and Przyrzecze streets.

The upper part of the house displays an 18th-century Polish Baroque style, a passageway with an 18th-century preserved courtyard and an open wooden gallery.

The building opened after the middle of the 14th century: first graduates traveled to Kraków to the Jagiellonian University around 1419[17] The parish school was an institution in the city landscape and in the awareness of its inhabitants, being then housed in a brick building containing several chambers, on the edge of the churchyard cemetery, on the plot of today's house at street in Przyrzecze street 2.

[16] In the 17th century, the school declined, victim of the competition of the newly opened Jesuit College and established academic institutions in Gdańsk, Elbląg, Toruń or Chełmno.

[16] The construction in itself was used as a barn, and pupils transferred to a basic house erected on the eastern wall of the sacristy, furnished with benches and tiled stables.

[17] During Prussian times, the actual building was erected (1834–1854) to meet the needs of the parish school, on the site of the older derelict edifice.

In 1982, the newly appointed Vicar of Bydgoszcz, Jan Viktor Nowak, inaugurated in the house the Primate Institute of Christian Culture - Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (Polish: Prymasowski Instytut Kultury Chrześcijańskiej).

[18] The long and low roof house has been erected in the middle of the 19th century, following wattle and daub technique that reminds of its old history.
