Abstracts

The Swiss Style, also called the Tyrol Style and the Alpine Style, which dominated the architecture of Central European tourist towns and health resorts at the end of the19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, spread in Jelenia Gora valley in the form of vernacular architecture, brought to Prussia from Tyrol. Peasant houses in that style were erected first near the palace and gardens of Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia in Erdmannsdorf, at the feet of the Giant Mountains. After the boom of mass tourism, new hotels, guest houses, mountain shelters and sanatoriums were built in the forms inspired by Alpine vernacular buildings. The same trend emerged in the Tatra Mountains region, whose northern part was in the Austrian partition. However, Polish artists resented the foreign new vernacularism, and created their own new vernacular style based on the native architecture of that region, called by them Zakopane Style. The leader of the movement was Stanisław Witkiewicz – John Ruskin and William Morris in one person. Since it became popular at the end of the 19th century, the style has shaped the identity of the area.
