Dłuski Sanatorium in Zakopane, Military sanatorium in Zakopane, Poland.
The Dłuski Sanatorium is a building erected between 1898 and 1902 in Kościelisko near Zakopane, with a stone façade and a modernist shape. It was founded by Kazimierz and Bronisława Dłuski as a clinic for lung diseases. A plaque commemorates the financial support of Bronisława's sister, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, in 1911.
The building was erected between 1898 and 1902, and in 1902 Kazimierz and Bronisława Dłuski opened a sanatorium for lung patients there; Bronisława's sister Maria Skłodowska-Curie supported the construction in 1911, as a memorial plaque records. In 1928 the Ministry of Military Affairs bought the building and opened the Wojskowe Sanatorium on 24 October 1928, renamed after Józef Piłsudski on 3 July 1929. Three of its directors were killed in the Katyn massacres of 1940.
The building began as the Dłuski sanatorium for lung diseases, founded in 1902 by Kazimierz and Bronisława Dłuski. From 1911 a meteorological station set up by Kazimierz Dłuski for the Natural Science Section of the Tatra Society operated next to it. Since 1928 the facility has served military patients and today functions as the Rewita Kościelisko holiday centre.
The location sits in the Tatra Mountains and offers access to hiking trails and outdoor activities in the surrounding landscape. Visitors should note that the area is mountainous and sturdy footwear is recommended.
