Abstract

The term health resort architecture refers to the facilities and green areas strictly connected to the activities relating to spa treatment [1]. The form of those objects follows the function that it fulfils in the whole process. In the Sudeten Mountains and Sudetian Foothills, the lower part of the Lower Silesian vovoidship, there are rich deposits of mineral waters. These sources and climate conditions were the basis for the creation and development of numerous health resorts in the area. Characteristic elements of the Lower Silesian health resort architecture, such as pedestrian halls and mineral water pump rooms, are essential to the preservation of identity and cultural heritage of these spas. Although it is difficult to see the uniformity in their style.
