Rudolf Kern Building

Rudolf Kern Tenement is a habitation building located at 1 Mickiewicz Alley, in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

The building stands on the eastern side of Gdańska Street at the intersection with Mickiewicz Alley.

It stands close to remarkable tenements in the same street: On the plot, before the current building, there was a tavern (German: wirtschaft), managed by Emil Manthei[2] This made the area prone to leisure, emphasized by the presence, since the end of the 19th century, of a theatre and a restaurant on the other side of the intersection (at 66-68 Gdańska street).

The building will soon accommodate a four-star hotel, including a gastronomic restaurant, with recreational and commercial areas.

[5] It is characterized by an asymmetric arrangement of loggia and bays, typical decorative elements including leaf and tendril motifs, intertwined organic forms, mostly curvaceous in shape.
