The paper focused on the architectural heritage of the city of Gdynia, in Poland, built in 1920s and 1930s. The city was established (founded) on the seaside of the Baltic Sea as the only port of Poland – a country that regained independence after Versailles Treaty. The history of the city, built from scratch is outstanding in Europe. Modernist architecture of the city is represented by buildings built for different purposes: housing, public and industrial. The main part of the city is the City Centre, protected as the Monument of History (the highest distinction in Polish law) and inscribed in Tentative List of UNESCO in 2019. Due to the history, the urban layout of the City Centre, designed in 1920s, is the unique example of modernist ideas embodied in reality.
