The fraternity of St George, an association of archers and the oldest of its kind
in medieval Gdańsk, originally met in Artus Court. However, in 1487 the
fraternity acquired its own premises, St George’s Court, which was built under
the direction of Hans Glothau in the Flemish style. It was completed in
1494.

The first floor contained an archery range and storerooms for archery equipment.
Members of the fraternity met in the Great Hall on the first floor. The hall was
also used for ceremonies, meetings and banquets and for the performance of
plays.

In 1566 it was crowned by a figure of St George and the Dragon, which was removed
and is now on display in the National Museum (the figure on the small tower is a
copy). In the 19th century the building housed the School of Fine Art. Today
Artus Court is the premises of the Gdańsk branch of the Association of Polish
Architects.
