The Main Post Office in Bydgoszcz is a complex of historical post buildings, owned by Polish Post services Office in Bydgoszcz.
Buildings stand on a plot delimitated by the following streets: Jagiellońska, Stary Port, Pocztowa and Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki in Bydgoszcz. They have been erected on the northern bank of the Brda river.
The existence of royal mail institutions royal in Bydgoszcz dates back to the first half of 18th century, as confirmed by postal statutes of the Crown General Post in 1733, 1754 and 1766. In 1751, the post office in Bydgoszcz was in a bourgeois building on the corner of Niedźwiedzia and Stefan Batory Streets near the Old Marketplace.
After the First Partition of Poland, the post office moved to a building in current Długa street. The Bydgoszcz mail office has been planned to migrate from the streets adjacent to the Old Market to the other side of the Brda river, on a land belonging primarily to the military, where a complex of barracks and royal stables, have been built in September 1773. The casern was billeting the city-stationed squadron of the 7th Hussars regiment led by General Paweł Józef Małachowski. Initially a massive one-storey building, it was later on expanded with further floors and a number of other buildings associated with needs of the army (barracks, stables, coach house). Since the end of the 18th century, a mail office has been standing in the complex.
In 1815 Prussian authorities assigned the former stables to the needs of Royal Prussian Post Office Directorate in Bydgoszcz. The new post office was then located in the corner of the streets Jagiellońska and Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki. The ensemble had not yet a representative character, but it was sufficient for the needs of the mail Directorate. The former stables of the 7thHussars regiment, unused, were demolished in 1896.
