From the late 1830s, climatic medicine contributed to the development of Zakopane as a summer and spa town. Acceleration of development occurred at the end of the 19th century as a result of the popularisation of the town’s climatic values. In 1886, the town obtained the status of climate station. At that time, the Swiss style of architecture was becoming widespread for summer buildings and Stanisław Witkiewicz back to the beginning of the battle for the ‘highlander style’ in local architecture. Another ‘civilisational leap’ occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, after the railway was brought to Zakopane itself. In the centre of the village, brick buildings began to appear.
