The villa was originally built in the 1920s as a private summer retreat for the Haller family.
General Józef Haller officially received the keys to the Polish Baltic Sea at Puck in 1920, a ceremony central to the site's historical significance.
The building was constructed using traditional timber-framing techniques common in interwar coastal architecture.
During the occupation of Poland in World War II, the property was confiscated by the German authorities.
The collection features original artifacts from the Blue Army, a force of volunteers formed in France during World War I.
Hallerówka remains one of the few surviving examples of original summer residential architecture from the early Władysławowo resort era.
Hallerówka is a historic wooden villa in Władysławowo that served as the summer residence of General Józef Haller, a prominent Polish military commander. The building represents the typical style of Baltic seaside wooden architecture from the early 20th century. It now functions as a branch of the Puck Region Museum, dedicated to preserving the memory of General Haller and the history of the Polish Army's presence in the Pomeranian region. The museum displays personal belongings, military uniforms, documents, and photographs related to the Blue Army and the General's life. It stands as a significant site for understanding the interwar history of Poland's access to the Baltic Sea. The structure was designated a historic monument to protect its architectural integrity and cultural value.
