Zotavovna Morava in the Tatra Mountains

In 1930, the Moravian Land Life Insurance Company in Brno announced a conceptual competition for the design of the Morava Sanatorium in Tatranská Lomnica. The realization of the project involved highly awarded architects, Brno-based Bohuslav Fuchs and Karlovy Vary's Karl Ernstberger. The building, commemorating the 80th birthday of President Masaryk with a budget of approximately 7 million crowns, was officially commenced with a ceremonial groundbreaking on August 5, 1931. It is situated at an elevation of 900 m above sea level, under the high mountain scenery of Lomnický štít. The four-story residential block featured 90 rooms with 200 beds, with the rooms on the southeast façade having "jagged" loggias, while the social wing one floor below had a capacity of 400 people. The basement housed a kitchen with technical facilities and shower baths, the ground floor included a hall, café, writing room, and reading room, on the first floor was a dining room with a terrace, and above the social wing with ribbon windows was an observation terrace for sunbathing with showers. The building had central heating and ventilation. The sanatorium was ceremoniously opened on June 29, 1933, and a bust of President Masaryk was unveiled in front of it.
