importance appeared: the building of the present Municipal National Committee, the Palace-Sanatorium, the Alexandria Hotel, the "Fucik" and "Morava" hydropathics, and in the year 1935 the building of the Social Club. After the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia by the Nazi organizations the spa was closed to the Czech public almost completely and taken possession of by the Nazi organizations. After the liberation of the town on May, 1945, another chapter in the history of the spa began.

In the years 1945-1947 a new complex of spa buildings was built: the Main and Small Colonnades, the Hall of Vincentka, the health centre. Social changes after February 1948 influenced both the life of the people in Luhacovice and the spa organization as a whole. Agriculture was collectivized, the woods were natiionalized, the state became the only owner of the natural cure sources and all balneological, accommodation and catering capacities in the spa towns. Some buildings were used to solve the housing problem, other were divided between the Central Trade Union Council and the Ministry of Health. In the year 1957 Luhacovice together with other spas was given the spa statute and the spa care was unified in the Ministry of Health. Both the spa care and environment are always in the course of improvement
