History of the Hotel
The Cesarska Hall in our Park Hotel is 120 years old. Hundreds of concerts, parties, and weddings have taken place here, in Max Krüger's restaurant. The charm of this place is enhanced by the proximity of the 240-year-old Bydgoszcz Canal, which is unique on a European scale. Starting a river journey here, you can reach the Atlantic. The waters of this canal still whisper secrets from the past.
Funny and intriguing stories have taken place in the Cesarska Hall, but there are also those that will make your hair stand on end. Many of them remain unknown, but some will forever remain a secret.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Bydgoszcz was the largest Prussian city in the east. It was famous for its cleanliness, parks, and architecture from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. That’s why it was called “Little Berlin.” It’s no coincidence that Carlo von Carmen – the hero of the legend "The Arrow in the Cesarska Hall" told by Józef Herold – came from Berlin to hunt in the Bydgoszcz Forest. The dramatic love story of the count and the laundress left a lasting mark. On the wall of the Cesarska Hall, an arrow released by the Archer struck the King of Spades, and it remains lodged in him, so much so that even the strongest cannot pull it out.
Those who don't believe it should come and see. Maybe you too will experience a story at the Park Hotel that someone will write about in a hundred years.
We wish you that.
We warmly invite you.
