Home to a number of Toruń's most affluent residents, 'The House Under the Star' differs from the city's dominant Brick Gothic architechtural style with a dazzling Baroque facade.
The historical interiors of this townhouse hosts an exhibition called ‘World of the Orient’, featuring a wonderful collection of weapons, armour, bronze goods, semi-precious stones, sculptures and ceramic goods from the Far East. Highlights of this treasure trove include a number of ornamental Japanese tsuba (sword hilts) and kozuka (small daggers), as well as a Chinese jia (ritual wine vessel) and its hien (vessel stand), that are over 3000 years old.
