The Former Dr. Joseph Freund Central Sanatorium
The building of the former Central Sanatorium, known as Freund Szanatorium, was raised in 1935 after the plans of local architect Albert Krausz. The building authorisation was obtained by Dr. Freund’s wife on the 28th of March 1935. The building’s façade still features the plate that identifies its architect, being inscribed as “Arch. Krausz”. The building’s overall composition is dominated by the horizontal lines that line the row of windows. A different set of three horizontal lines mark the building’s higher corner, and several compositional accents such as the entryway or Art-Deco style mast stand on the façade. The building’s medical tradition is carried on by the healthcare unit functioning today on its premises.
