1962-1965 (building on Konarski street), by architect Jerzy Jerka, 1966-1969 (tower building), by architect Bronislaw Jablonki
Both buildings, (14-storey tower and the long one on Konarski Street) are additions to the 19th century original edifice, where now seats the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship administration and leadership. They are connected to the historical house via a pedestrian covered bridge, crossing over an entry to the Casimir the Great Park.
