Built in the 1900s, this former treatment house (sanatorium) had 145 rooms and was built in an E-shape fashion. Even though it wasn't completed yet, it opened in 1915. Another 19 rooms were added but was never completed because of the war. Various forms of therapy that was performed here was water-based as well as electrotherapy. New editions completed after the war included compressed air cabinets. Patients could breathe in extreme air pressures which helped treat upper respiratory diseases. Communism eventually stopped tourism which had a major impact on resorts. Hopes are that now maybe this building can be restored before it is too late since the town seems to be growing again.
