A historic edifice located on the Old Town Square. Established in 1889-1891, according to the design of the city building councilor Rudolph Schmidt. Currently, the ground floor is intended for commercial purposes, and the other floors serve cultural purposes: Artus Court Culture Center and the seat of the Toruń Symphony Orchestra. The style of the building is referred to as the Dutch Neo-Renaissance, the facade is three-story, faced with brick with significant use of red sandstone - ground floor, decorative details, significantly scaled in relation to the neighboring buildings of the Market Square. In addition to the neo-Renaissance motifs, there are also references to the original Gothic-Renaissance building of the Artus Court - slightly pointed windows and rustication on the ground floor, suspended towers flanking the facade, battlements crowning the building. The whole is covered with a high hip roof, whose silhouette is clearly visible in the panorama of Toruń.
